✦ Synopsis

From the Scotiabank Giller Prize-nominated author of Governor of the Northern Province and Beggar's Feast

EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE HE BECAME A SUICIDE BOMBER, PRIN WENT TO THE ZOO WITH HIS FAMILY.

Following a cancer diagnosis, forty-year old Prin vows to become a better man and a better Catholic. He's going to spend more time with his kids and better time with his wife, care for his recently divorced and aging parents, and also expand his cutting-edge research into the symbolism of the seahorse in Canadian literature.

But when his historic college in downtown Toronto faces a shutdown and he meets with the condominium developers ready to take it over--including a foul-mouthed young Chinese entrepreneur and Wende, his sexy ex-girlfriend from graduate school--Prin hears the voice of God. Bewildered and divinely inspired, he goes to the Middle East, hoping to save both his college and his soul. Wende is coming, too.
