DOWNLOAD EBOOKHomeward from Heaven is Boris Poplavsky’s masterpiece, written just before his life was cut short by a drug overdose at the age of thirty-two. Set in Paris and on the French Riviera, this final novel by the literary enfant terrible of the interwar Russian diaspora in France recounts the escapades, malaise, and love affairs of a bohemian group of Russian expatriates. The novel’s protagonist and sometime narrator is Oleg, whose intense love for two women leads him along a journey of spiritual transfiguration. He follows Tania to a seaside resort, but after a passionate dalliance she jilts him. In the cafés of Montparnasse, Oleg meets Katia, with whom he finds physical intimacy and emotional candor, yet is unable to banish a lingering sense of existential disquiet and destitution. When he encounters Tania again in Paris, his quest to comprehend the laws of spiritual and physical love begins anew, with results that are both profound and tragic. Taken by Poplavsky’s contemporaries to be semiautobiographical, Homeward from Heaven stands out for its uncompromising depictions of sexuality and deprivation. Richly allusive and symbolic, the novel mixes psychological confession, philosophical reflection, and social critique in prose that is by turns poetic, mystical, and erotic. It is at once a work of daring literary modernism and an immersive meditation on the émigré condition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn Christmas Eve 1981, the brutal slaying of a 'Ndrangheta enforcer in a Hamilton parking lot sends shockwaves through a tough working-class community and separates two childhood friends. Marty settles in Calgary for a time--his family slowly disintegrating under the strain--while what's left of Matt's family tries to come to grips with their loss and make a new start in nearby St. Catharines. Five years later, Matt and Marty cross paths again in Toronto and pick up their friendship where they left off . Now tough, brash, and quick on their feet, the two of them are soon living off their wits and up to their necks in small-time scams, the occasional well-planned heist, and anything that can make them a quick buck. But when Marty comes up with a scam that will land them more money than either of them have ever seen, they know it will mean upping their game. It will also mean enlisting the help of heavy Hamilton mafia connections they'd previously avoided. Set in the fall of 1990--and drawing loose inspiration from real life events--Pablo Fandango is the first in a series of Marty Ronan novels.
