My Camino

PRAISE FOR MY CAMINO "Scathing, riotous...Warner's writing throughout is electric. It's boisterous, bawdy, turbocharged and entirely entertaining. Apostle John is the best kind of narrator - loudly confident one moment, humble and introspective the next, a man of sage opinions and witty, often heartbreaking anecdotes about [his friends] Budsy and Floss, migration, philosophy, music, and the world at large. Reading the book feels like sidling up to the bar with a highly intelligent and hilarious new companion...My Camino is an energizing read, a book that asks cheeky and powerful questions about what it means to create (or abstain) in the early 21st Century."-Toronto Star "An energetic caper, full of asides and wordplay ... Laugh-out-loud funny at times ... Very well done, masterfully paced, gruesome and vivid ... My Camino is a novel very much occupied by questions of perspective, vantage points, and knowing, nested inside a series of quite powerful journeys."-Malahat Review "An original and inherently compelling read by an author with a knack for the kind of narrative storytelling that keeps the reader riveted from cover to cover..." - Midwest Book Review "An uproarious satire of the art world and a joyful, episodic novel that will appeal to anyone looking for a non-dreary read."-Foyles "[A] rollicking, peregrinating tale..." - The Packet PRAISE FOR PATRICK WARNER "Warner has a wonderful skill for wielding rhythm and rhyme...engaging and memorable." -Canadian Literature "Warner's poems can be comical, tender, brutal ... they are always enlightening in their implied connections, sublime in their musical inventiveness." -Sunday Independent "I don't know if anyone in contemporary poetry is bearing more eloquent, precisely strange witness to the certainty of their doubts than Warner." -ARC Poetry Magazine
