My Career with the Leafs & Other Stories
By Brian Fawcett
Brian Fawcett explores the connection between track and existentialism, pool and foolscap, tomato cans and the Knights of the Round Table. In the process, he becomes a horse, confronts the Red Menace and almost drowns himself. This book is for anyone who knows what it’s like to learn—literally and figuratively—the rules of the game.

“Fawcett sings sweetly and sourly about growing up.”
Vancouver Sun
