Nick, a young physician disillusioned with clinical work, moves from small province New Brunswick to big city Vancouver to take a research position with a medical startup, A.I. Plus Womxn's Health Solutions. Nick quickly finds himself working in the company of "Grantrepreneurs" - rogues of the business world who have created a financing model based entirely on the outrageous exploitation of public grant and subsidy programs.When they seek to secure Fisheries and Oceans financing for a koi fountain in their lobby, Nick and his new friends rub elbows with Chinese-Canadian gangsters, famous Canadian authors, and even the prime minister himself (in the midst of a cough-syrup-induced existential crisis).It's a lot of fun until someone shows up dead in a decorative water feature. With scalpel-sharp wit, hilarious schemes and generous injections of heart, Jake Swan has written a page-turning, laugh-out-loud, idol-skewering misadventure.

Known for his Saint John-based novels, Jerrod Edson enters the world of speculative literature with The Boulevard, an ambitious novel featuring Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh, Satan, and a train ride through Hell. For the first time since Satan's banishment, God plans a visit to the lower world, and Satan is in a bind. In defiance, he has built Hell in the image of Heaven, but now he must destroy its beauty or face God's wrath. Singed with dark humour, packed with historical detail and written in Edson's straightforward style, with themes that include the search for happiness and the importance of staying true to oneself, The Boulevard is first and foremost a testament to the undeniable power of art. "An original, weird, compelling novel."-Bethany GibsonJerrod Edson was born in Saint John, NB, in 1974. He lives in Mississauga, ON, with his wife Leigh and daughters Hadley and Harper. The Boulevard is his sixth novel.
