Bix has it all: a failed marriage, a faltering career as a speechwriter, a drinking problem (not to mention the pills) and a wayward eye for the women. The last thing he needs is trouble named Holly, which is, of course, exactly what he gets--briefly. His only assets are his daughter Zoey and an excruciating (and excruciatingly funny) sense of who he is, which becomes his path to redemption from the erotic rollercoaster that is this impressive and un-put-downable novel.

David Gilmour's first novel, Back on Tuesday, garnered critical acclaim from such diverse critics as William Burroughs and Northroup Frye, and was published both in Canada and the United States. David works at the CBC where he is a film critic for "The Journal".
