Synopsis:
Received with almost unanimous accolades from critics and readers alike, Civilization is the amazing tale of Thom Moss, a young man who sets out in the early twentieth century in search of a grand adventure. He soon finds himself in the thick of Hollywoodland, employed as an actor by the renowned Caspar Willison, master of the two-reel cowboy flicker. However, Thom's fortune quickly takes a ruinous turn and he lands in the Penitentiary, where he writes the story of his downfall. At once hilarious and courageous, Civilization is a daring work by one of Canada's finest novelists.
About the Author: Paul Quarrington's Whale Music, for which he won a Governor's General's Award, was released as a major feature film last fall by Alliance, and premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. Quarrington lives in Toronto with his wife and two daughters.
