Items related to Idaho Winter
Idaho Winter begins as the story of a boy with an extraordinarily painful existence. He is, through no fault of his own, loathed by everyone in the town where he lives. He meets Madison, the first person to ever show him empathy. When he learns that he is a a character in a novel, he breaks free and imprisons his author while remaking his fictional world as he sees fit. The author escapes and sets out with his supporting characters to find a way to bring his novel's mind and heart together on a perilous and paradoxical journey.

Review:
"[Burgess] proves himself to be a witty, lightning-quick conjurer of misanthropy in this brief, kaleidoscopic novel." --"Publishers Weekly "(April 18, 2011)
"Idaho's story is the most brilliantly terrifying dream you've ever had. . . . "Idaho Winter" is absurd and acceptable at the same time; its prose is pleasurable and unnerving." --"Globe and Mail" (August 16, 2011)
"Chaotic and imaginative and clever." --"National Post "(July 29, 2011)
"The world of Tony Burgess is savage and blackly funny. . . . It's a place where you shouldn't trust anybody, not even your narrator. This is not Alice Munro's small-town Canada." --"UPTOWN" (July 14, 2011)
"It grabbed me from the first page and would not let go . . . It's damning with faint praise to say that this is the best Zombie novel ever written. This is just a great novel, period." --"Premium Blend" on "Pontypool"
""Idaho Winter" is not just funny, it's supposed to be funny. . . . Burgess's novel, in fact, is one of the finest parodies ever penned of the stereotypically didactic young adult (YA) novel." --"Macleans "(June 6, 2011)
"Burgess scores points for creativity as he provides an incredibly rich and thought provoking read about the theory of storytelling." --"subTerrain" (March 2012)
