This is a passionate love story, with its roots in Toronto and its resolution in the dark heart of contemporary Africa. Adam Waters' search for the woman he loves, who has mysteriously disappeared from their hotel room, takes him from the casinos of Puerto Rico to war-torn Gabon and a leper colony deep in the African bush. Counterpointing Adam's quest are his memories from boyhood, and of his father, wandering jazzman Sweet Web Waters; his experiences as a war correspondent; and the girl who becomes his lover, dancer Gabrielle. Callaghan confronts the pure joy that can be in sexuality and the evil that is inherent in the nature of growth itself, by combining the excitement of an adventure story with the exuberant love of language.

BARRELHOUSE KINGS is the unique story of two Canadian writers, each well-known in his own way: Morley Callaghan and his son, Barry Callaghan. It is a stunningly written recollection of the world in which Barry Callaghan grew up—the world that was Morley’s milieu as a writer and became Barry’s as their lives dovetailed. Peopled with many unforgettable characters, this is an autobiography that will stand the test of time.

This is the third volume of essays from Canada’s Man of Letters, following the critically acclaimed Raise You Five and Raise You Ten. Novelist and poet Barry Callaghan is one of Canada’s great journalists. He has received every major award in North America – more than a dozen National Magazine awards, seven of them gold, and in the U.S., the Lowell Thomas Award, and the Pushcart Prize. His journalism covers an astonishing range, from serious political reporting to autobiography, sports writing, and travel writing. In the late sixties at the Toronto Telegram, he began his career as a books editor and weekly columnist, setting a standard that has rarely been met since. He became a war correspondent in theMiddle East and Africa, and a translator of, and commentator on, the culture and politics of European countries from Spain to Russia. Masterfully written, this third volume of essays and encounters is “literary criticism and cultural history of a high order, in turn joyous, acerbic, celebratory.” Globe & Mail

There is an extraordinary figure on the landscape. His name is Hogg, known to be ambling through history and cities without apparent purpose by secretly in search of passionate adventure, telling his story in poems and continuing to create himself. This time, he has gone straight into the inferno of the past century, Leningrad, to make love under the murderous eye of all the Cops in the sky. As the great American poet, Hayden Carruth says about the poems collected here: “The centred line contains the murderous image, all the more grim for its sardonic elegance. I know nothing like these poems. They are brilliant extrapolations from an appalled imagination at the end of a dreadful millennium, unquestionably first-rate.”
