The Dirty Dozen, with Iain Reid
Submitted by Grace on June 17, 2016 - 5:56am
Iain Reid's debut novel I'm Thinking of Ending Things (Simon & Schuster Canada) is already gathering rave reviews. Known for his non-fiction, Reid is dipping into long form fiction for the first time with I'm Thinking of Ending Things, a tense, atmospheric page-turner that explores a complicated relationship and which has drawn comparisons to the likes of José Saramago and Lionel Shriver. Kirkus Reviews gave the book a starred review and praised it as "preternaturally creepy". We welcome Iain to the site today to take on our Dirty Dozen series, where writers give us a glimpse into their lives, histories, and personalities by sharing twelve facts about themselves. Iain tells us about his whistling abilities, her favourite part of the grocery store, and rocking out with his mom.
Iain Reid is the author of two critically acclaimed, award-winning books of nonfiction, One Bird's Choice and The Truth About Luck, which was one of Globe and Mail's best books of 2013. Reid’s work has appeared in a variety of publications throughout North America, including The New Yorker, the Globe and Mail, and the National Post. In 2015, he received the RBC Taylor Emerging Writer Award. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is his first novel. Related item from our archives |
