Description

Vancouver: Raincoast Book, 2004. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Very light corner rubbing, gently used, little wear overall. Text is clean. 'The time is the 1970s. The place is Ottawa - a developing city ready for the taking. Two men from very different backgrounds take up the challenge: Jerry McGuinty, a self-made man, a plasterer turned builder . . and Simon Struthers, a man of inherited wealth, a bureaucrat who carries self-absorption to new heights . . The careers of Jerry and Simon run parallel and so do their personal lives: each man's capacity for love is suffocated by work, his contentment slowly crushed by greed and 'progress.' As the city grows, so does the wealth and power of the men who build it . . but Jerry mourns the loss of his estranged son while Simon yearns for an unattainable woman.' 403 pages. .
