Produktinformationen zu „November's Radio (ePub)“
An artist in China. A bureaucrat in Canada.On the surface, these pairs appear significantly different. But are they?Recently separated from Gary, Wendy takes off to China, looking for a transcendent experience. She falls in with two performance artists and has to struggle with questions of artistic praxis, cultural difference and mental health. Then a government anti-corruption campaign targets one of her new colleagues.Shuffling bureaucrat Gary remains in Victoria, BC, stuck in his cubicle at the Ministry of Wellness. He discovers suppressed research about an anti-anxiety medication, a drug his bosses want to approve for funding. He could reveal all and commit career suicide. Or the revelations could make him a hero.November's Radio draws subtle parallels between China and Canada: both teem with political minefields, neurotic misfits, and styles of corruption. Noyes spins both yarns with keen wit and poetic language, guiding his characters—and the reader—through a maze of conceit and greed. This is a world run amok.
Autoren-Porträt von Steve Noyes
Steve Noyes is from Winnipeg and was educated at Carleton University's School of Journalism and UBC's MFA program. Over the years he has worked at many jobs, including editor, parking lot attendant, printing press grunt and disabilities advocate. More recently, he has taught English in Chinese universities several times and spent more than a decade as a policy analyst in the BC Ministry of Health.Steve has published nine books of fiction and poetry, and more than a hundred journal publications in Canadian literary magazines and newspapers. His most recent poetry collections are small data (Frog Hollow Press) and Rainbow Stage-Manchuria (Oolichan Books). His first novel, It is just that your house is so far away (Signature Editions), prompted reviewers to call it "a portrait of China that is honest, intimate and layered" and "a wonderful book."
These days, Steve divides his time between Victoria, where he lives with his wife, the poet Catherine Greenwood, and Canterbury, England, where is he pursuing a PhD in Writing at the University of Kent.
