VANCOUVER SUN

About the Author :
Born in Montreal, Jeffrey Moore was educated at the University of Toronto and the Sorbonne. He works as a translator and also lectures at the University of Montreal and Concordia University. He plans to take up an exchange chair at a British university in 2002.

Review :
Jeffrey Moore came over to the UK for publication, from 17th-28th June. He was interviewed on BBC Radio Jersey and Jeff will also be compiling his 'top ten campus novels' for the Guardian Unlimited website. He did events with the Brent Writers Association (21 June), Manchester Commonwealth Writer's Festival (18 June), the Mini Bar, Highbury Corner (Thursday 27th June) and the French Institute (Saturday 22nd June). We also had a great publication dinner for Jeff on Tuesday 25th June at the French House Restaurant on Dean Street.We spent a nice day in York doing publicity and Jeff had interviews with the Yorkshire Evening Press and with the Jerry Scott Show (BBC Radio York) and also did some stock signings. An overview of the Manchester Commonwealth Writer's Festival, with mention of Jeff and RED-ROSE CHAIN will appear in the ManchesterMetro. Reviews are still expected in the Independent on Sunday and Independent '...a sparkling first novel by a young writer of whom more will surely beheard. It is a clever book, dense with literary allusions, but also aheart-warming one, with a thoroughly likeable hero, as romantic as he isaccident-prone...The extravagance of the plot is matched by the exuberanceof the writing.'Max Davidson, Sunday Telegraph '...its tone is confident, amused and amusing.'Anna Shapiro, Observer '...full of quirks and quick-turns, wit and erudition.Entertaining and exhausting, it's reminiscent of the early John Irving.'Ian Sansom, Guardian 'Moore evokes his self-deprecation and fecklessness well; almost every assertion Jeremy makes is undermined by his actions in the following paragraph, and the author's dry wit is...well judged.'Chris Power, TLS We've also had reviews in the Daily Telegraph, ABTA magazine and New Books magazine. Here a just a couple of the fantastic quotes that have already been received for this wonderful book, winner of the 2000 Commonwealth Writer's Prize:'Exuberant and smart, RED-ROSE CHAIN signals the arrival of a new, sophisticated comic author who combines John Irving's inventive virtuosity with Tom Green's contempt for everything stuffy in our culture.'National Post 'A debut triumph...Many laugh-out-loud moments, real depth of emotion, uniformly fine wr
