Fiction. Amazon.ca's 50 Essential Canadian Books selection. Finalist, ReLit Award. Debut novel from the author of
19 Knives
and
New Orleans Is Sinking
. SALVAGE KING, YA! is a gritty, down-to-earth story of a hockey player's last few years in the minors. Drinkwater, an almost-got-to-the-NHL tough-mouthed romantic is skidding through the tail end of his 30s on a high-octane journey of self-actualization. Chip-toothed and soaring he struggles to come to terms with the conflicting aspirations of his youth and the reality of inheriting the family junkyard. Roving. Luminous. Rowdy. Funny.
"Fantastic: funny, cluttered, driven, as if Denis Johnson had written a hockey novel"—
The Stranger
"If it's the best hockey book ever written, does that make it The Great Canadian Novel?"—
The Danforth Review
"a brilliant work... a postmodern Canadian classic"—
National Post
"A wonderfully fierce and funny book... imagine Hunter S. Thompson on hockey skates"—
