Recensione:

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
