Praise for John Gimlette:
"Theatre of Fish is peopled with odd characters, both historical
and very much alive, who make walk-on appearances in a book rich
with bizarre incident and anecdotes."
-Sarah Hampson, "Globe and Mail"
"Must reading for anyone who wants to understand Canada's last
province."
-Yvonne Crittenden, "The Toronto Sun"
"But as a descriptive writer, a master of the telling observation
and the well-chosen epithet, he is in the highest class."
-Max Davidson, "The Daily Telegraph" "From the Trade Paperback
edition."
