Written in nervy, lyrical, beat-driven prose, Ray Robertson has composed a linguistically rich and intellectually challenging first novel that evokes the early Thomas McGuane for its strikingly fresh use of language and richly comedic treatment of thematic concerns.

Ray Robertson's Home Movies is what readers look for: a superbly written, mature first novel, at once engaging, fresh, and unique.

Ray Robertson's Home Movies is the best kind of literary debut: a marvellous first novel displaying a honed eye for setting and detail, sparkling real-people dialogue, and characters that are funny, extreme, lovable, and heartbreaking, often simultaneously. Robertson is a fresh and original narrative voice, one of the finest new writers to emerge in North America for some time, and I predict he will be giving us wonderful books for many years to come.
