Moody Food (Biblioasis, 2002) by Ray Robertson
This 1960s rock 'n' roll tale about a bookseller makes the reader laugh out loud. Andrew Johnson wants to share the good times with you, writing:
"Moody Food is a fantastic rock 'n' roll novel that is also a terrific novel. Strangely under-appreciated, the book also draws on one of the great scenes in Canadian history, Yorkville in the mid-1960s, a rich place/time that deserves more celebration than it gets."
Accolades: Ray Robertson won over fans and critics alike with Moody Food. The Globe and Mail called it "clever, word-drunk and falling-down funny," adding that "Robertson is a moral writer and a bitingly intelligent one, a man who writes with penetrating insight of what needs to be written about: beauty, truth and goodness."
