Reviews
"Vern Smith's 'The Gimmick' is about a hard-nosed cop, a bombshell in a belly shirt, and a bank machine card scam. It's a complex and intense story, and who can resist the brilliant opening?" - Philip Alexander, Front & Centre Magazine "Smith's tale of not-so-small-time crooks with a knack for draining other's people's bank accounts and the bumbling cops on their tails (one of whom is among the crook's victims) is a flat-out riot. Punchy dialogue moves the story. Humorous human characters bring it life. The plot is solid. Smith sets the bar high." - Matthew Firth, The Ottawa (X)Press "Wilderness meets the city in 'The Great Salmon Hunt, ' Vern Smith's delightful, wicked tall tale. Men fish for monster-size salmon on Lake Ontario while in the distance, 'The city core, the SkyDome, the CN Tower, and the Gardiner Expressway were enveloped in a green plume of smog, as if a lime rainbow had wrapped itself around downtown.' In Concrete Forest, the city is wilderness." - Zsuzsi Gartner, Quill & Quire "Reading Vern Smith is to be reminded that urban America is more than the sum of its con jobs; it is a texture built of rips and stitches, a circus tent under which some of its wackiest animators hold forth--from Phyllis Diller to Carl Stalling, from Erich Sokol to Ishmael Reed. . . . electric, eccentric, extracellular madness." - Michael Turner, author of Hard Core Logo

Synopsis
Along with the return of Vern Smith's two-tone detective team who made the Arthur Ellis Awards shortlist are 11 other novelettes, stories, and sketches revolving around everything from a city scrape to an errant message to declining sanity in the civil service., "Vern Smith is a phantasmatic presence hovering over hard luck debacles and muted urban theater, colloquy consisting of full-bodied gestures captured in the word, messy lives tangled at the root, twisting misshapen into bloom. He haunts the North American literary canon with a salt-of-the-earth journalist's ear for the unspoken and unspeakable. There is an uncanny violence to these selections, as if there before the fact, now willed into expression in lean, muscular, lockstep cadences that model with sobering, unsentimental reverence and radical, stethoscopic clarity the raging interiority of the North American animal/everyman/mammal. With preternatural stylistic range, Vern Smith renders the ineffable with documentary devotion. It is poetic realism with exacting, brutal command of the minimal. Nothing less than ink, pulp, and blood amalgamated with sinew and synapses." - Manuel Marrero, author of Not Yet

I was offered and refunded the cost; I subsequently received the CD and paid for it- communication with the seller was exceptional and behaviour professional- kudo's to them. The CD itself is amazing; by far the best compilation of Joe Cocker's work and artistry. 10/10.
