Synopsis
The author of ten novels, Paul Quarrington is also a musician (most recently in the band Porkbelly Futures), an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker, and an acclaimed non-fiction writer. Paul Quarrington’s last novel, Galveston , was nominated for the Giller Prize; King Leary won the CBC’s 2008 Canada Reads competition and the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal; and Whale Music was awarded the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction. Recently, Porkbelly Futures’ self-titled second CD has been released to widespread acclaim, and Paul Quarrington’s short film adaptation of The Ravine , entitled Pavane , was featured in the Moving Stories Short Film Festival. Paul Quarrington’s non-fiction writing includes books on some of his favourite pastimes, such as fishing, hockey ,and music. His next book, The Song , is due out from Greystone Books in 2009. A regular contributor of book reviews, travel columns, and journalism to Canada’s national newspapers and magazines, he also teaches writing at Humber College and the University of Toronto. An (extremely) amateur magician and would-be mariner, Paul Quarrington lives in Toronto.
