White Lung

Finalist, City of Vancouver Book Prize

A blackly comic new novel from Vancouver author Grant Buday, based on his eight glorious years working in a mass production bakery. Dickensian in magnitude, White Lung is a sardonic portrait of B.C.’s racial conflicts and chaotic economy.

Praise for White Lung:

“a rollicking black comedy of errors with a host of unforgettable characters” (Quill & Quire, starred review)

“rarely has there been a novel as astute about life on the punch clock” (The Globe and Mail)

“mordantly funny” (The National Post)
