Reviews of Liminal:

• “What’s touching about this book is the fact that it’s written essentially as a letter to his mother. Even when describing the first night he meets one of his long-time lovers, he admits sheepishly that he didn’t wear a helmet while biking home with him, directing this comment to his mom” – On I’ve Read This
• “It craves depth at every sentence, to the extent that calling it a “page-turner” suggests moving in the wrong direction. You don’t want to get to the end of this type of book; you’d rather drill down to its spine” – In the Globe and Mail

Interviews:

• “I went to check on her in her room and in that instant I could see her as the body that she would be when she died” – In Quill and Quire
• “Picture this: A son is worried about his mother, who hasn’t woken up for the day. He goes to check on her and sees her still form in her bed apparently not moving. She hasn’t been well and thoughts begin to race through his mind. Has she died? Is she still breathing?” – In ARTSFILE
