“Notice is a bad-to-worse, spiral-down story about an ornery man caught between the gears of gentrification and renoviction—a novel whose brutal gaze is repeatedly crossed by mice and rebar. It peels up the rug that is Vancouver to see what’s been swept beneath, and follows a character who’s trying to save himself from that same broom.”
– Matthew Tomkinson, co-author of Archaic Torso of Gumby

“Dustin Cole writes with clarity and passion, precision and accuracy. I see all the same qualities in Notice, which says more about Vancouver in the last decade that a thousand desperate pages of the ‘accommodation wanted’ and ‘free stuff’ sections on Craigslist.”
– Richard Mackie, editor and publisher of The Ormsby Review

“Take notice of Notice…The novel is touted as ‘a bad-to-worse, spiral-down story about an ornery man caught between the gears of gentrification and renoviction’ but it’s also a delightful dance piece of wordsmithing, and uplifting performance piece.”
– BC Bookworld

“Cole vividly captures the fear, anger, and anxiety par for the course for disenfranchised tenants hanging in the balance in today’s precarious rental market. If Notice is a somber read, it’s only because it hits too close to home.”
