Daniel Richler, a Gemini Award-winning broadcaster and National Magazine Award-winning journalist, is currently Editor-in-Chief/Supervising Producer of BookTelevision: The Channel and the host of The Word. He lives in Toronto.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

r-old Robbie Bookbinder is bummed out and bored, cut adrift in the mid-1970s – the decade he calls The Great Hangover. Sex feels outmoded, drugs don’t seem to deliver like they used to, and rock and roll’s a bust in tired old Montreal. Quebec’s arming up for a cultural revolution, and bike gangs are warring in the streets. In Robbie Bookbinder, we meet a character who embodies all the potential, self-delusion, and resilience of contemporary youth. All Robbie thinks he needs is a kick-start. What he gets is scared half to death, as he discovers that life only improves when you take a stand in it.
