Book Reviews:
THE INSOLENT BOY
"Selwyn is a memorable protagonist. Stiles tells
his grimly comic story with wit and heart."
--Publishers Weekly--
"If Holden Caulfield were Canadian he might be
Stiles's Selwyn Davis... the promise of a new voice is strong."
--University of Toronto Quarterly--
"There's some fine, snappy, funny writing in The
Insolent Boy. A fresh viewpoint glitters intermittently throughout
this first novel."
--The Globe and Mail--
"Has the mythological quality of Günter Grass'
The Tin Drum."
--The Georgia Straight--
"(The novel is...) very good at describing the
tunnel vision mentality of a touring rock band..."
--***Eye Weekly--
"Hilarious... reminiscent of Portnoy`s Complaint."
--The Danforth Review--
"The opening chapters of The Insolent Boy are
laugh out loud funny."
--Pagitica in Toronto--
