β¦ Synopsis
Michael WinterΠ²Πβ’s eagerly anticipated new novel The Architects are Here features the unexpected return of Gabriel English, the popular and controversial protagonist of three of his previous critically acclaimed books. Prompted by a near death experience involving a wayward billboard Gabriel is forced to come to terms with the disappearance of his enigmatic girlfriend Nell. After packing up the shattered remnants of his Toronto apartment Gabriel sets out on an impromptu road trip with his roguish friend David Twombly to Corner Brook Newfoundland, their childhood home and the site of a recent accident involving DavidΠ²Πβ’s father in which Nell may be implicated. Along the way they encounter all manner curious characters from their shared past including a good many familiar faces from the Canadian literary community. Together, Gabriel and David explore the uneven terrain of lifelong friendships in this vivid portrait of lives in exciting and reckless flux which will surely confirm WinterΠ²Πβ’s reputation as one of CanadaΠ²Πβ’s most distinctive literary talents.
