Review

"Joe Barley is Wright's best creation since Charlie Salter and, never mind Hemingway and his papers, Wright himself is a Canadian treasure." (London Free Press 20031207)
The story has Wright's usual elegance and charm, along with a delightful set of characters and a good plot." (Globe and Mail 20030726)
"…well-told and a pleasure to read." (Quill and Quire 20030603)
"…light and amusing. A definite contender for the beach book pile." (Times-Colonist )
"The Hemingway Caper fits nicely into the mode of a master craftsman of the novel…great reading." (Regina Leader Post )
"Wright, with four series on the go, is at his best in the latest in the Joe Barley series…a plot with unusual twists, some eccentric charactgers and Joe Barley falling into one humorous situation after another." (Chronicle Herald )
"…the author's bemused, behind-the-scenes explorations provide agreeable, if gentle, satire of campus politics." (Hamilton Spectator )
"Wright maintains a firm grip on the material and demonstrates an old master's ability to juggle several narrative balls at once without letting us know, till quite late in the performance which of them will eventually land with the most resounding force. (National Post )

This review is from: The Hemingway Caper: A Joe Barley Mystery (Paperback)
Toronto college politics and Hemingway's stint as a writer for THE TORONTO STAR figure in this wonderful novel, replete with Wright's keen observations of human foibles. Thoroughly enjoyable.
