\"Douglas<\/a>“A story like the brilliant, forbidding ‘Dog Attempts to Drown Man in Saskatoon’ possesses so much intelligence and contains so many layers that it pierces the heart.” (Adrienne Miller at Esquire<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\u201cA writer of some of the most extraordinary short stories in English Canada today.\u201d (CBC State of the Arts<\/i>)<\/p>\n

“Glover is preoccupied with the complicated interweavings of good and evil, and he juggles language superbly.” (Globe and Mail<\/em>)<\/p>\n

“He is a very nervy writer, the kind who does not play safe and shoots at whatever moon he allows himself to aim it.” (The Toronto Star<\/em>)<\/p>\n

“Glover\u2026seeks to combine a metaphysical approach and style with the nitty-gritty details of daily life. It works.” (Books in Canada<\/em>)<\/p>\n

“…it seems best to highlight the story (“There Might Be Angels”) written by Ontario-born Douglas Glover, who takes his CanLit background abroad both literally and figuratively to study and challenge the traditions of classical literature. His contribution begins as a railway encounter between an aging, comfortable abbot and a tramp, a set piece that exceeds the expectations inherited from both canon and context several times over \u2013 providing a brief but convincing case for the value of homegrown talent in a context of longer ages and wider places.” (Marc\u00a0 Christensen at The Malahat Review<\/em>)<\/p>\n
