About This Item
Oakville, Ontario: Mosaic Press, 1989. 154 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H). "A fast paced, satirical novel - about politics, corruption, influence, intrigue. The setting is a major resource development project in northern Manitoba, Canada. Based upon real events, real people, the novel explores the intrigue inherent in massive development projects, the contradictions between the concerns of profit and the concerns of environmental responsibility. The entire plot explodes in scandal where the major protagonist must flee. At a time when we are extremely skeptical about the business community, about politicians, about our ability to cope with environmental issues, 'Faux Pas' will be read with great interest." Light toning to the edges of the text block, very small bump to the top and bottom of the spine. Dust jacket has creases at the top and bottom of the spine, heavy fading to the spine colour - mostly to the pink colour, but lettering is still legible.. Not Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. Illus. by Marion Black, dust jacket illustration..
