Canticles II: MMXX [Paperback]

Reviews of The Motorcyclist: “Black is easily one of the most compelling, dynamic and conflicting characters in recent Canadian fiction. . . . [W]ith The Motorcyclist, Clarke has rendered not just an entire world, but also an entire man, flawed and unforgettable.” (Toronto Star) “Rich, dense and syntactically serpentine.” (The Globe and Mail) “This ribald, raw, road-movie of a novel is an object lesson in how to combine the political with the personal.” (Quill & Quire) “The Motorcyclist, functions as a quintessential Canadian novel, to be consumed by Canadians of all stripes while it drives home hard truths on what it meant - and still often means - to zoom along life’s path as a person of colour in contemporary Canada.” (National Post) “A captivating work that is, not surprisingly, poetic in language and intent.” (Ottawa Citizen) “The prose flows like music and will have you dreaming about the romance of the road and the heat between a man and a woman.” (Canadian Living)
