Samuel Archibald is the hottest young writer in Quebec. In a region where short story collections might sell worse than anywhere else in North America, Arvida sold through 25,000 copies.
Arvida fits in naturally with "country noir" authors like Donald Ray Pollock and Daniel Woodrell, but with a sharp and humorous French-Canadian twist.
The collection explores topical subjects, including the collapse of North American industry, the decline of the middle class, and the widening gulf between rich and poor.
Archibald, who's of Irish descent and fluent in English, will be on hand to present this book to the English-speaking world. Due to the success of the book in Quebec, he's already had exposure to radio and television media. He's a fun and natural on-air guest, who often riffs on pop culture.
