Flam Grub

What's in a name? Personal misfortune, or so it would appear if your name happens to be "Flam Grub". This touching contemporary novel shows how our lives are entwined with our names' & how our destinies are never certain. Full of humour & sadness, quirky wit, & quiet moments of beauty, Flam Grub tells the tale of a young man's misadventures & his retreat to the security of reading books, work in a bookstore, & a career as an undertaker -- until fame unexpectedly comes his way. Both an endearing tale & a shrewd send-up of contemporary life, Flam Grub is the second book from the rich imagination & skilful pen of new Canadian author Dan Dowhal.
