About the Book

To inherit her estranged father's vast fortune, Diminuenda must travel into the past and "collect" a number of objets d'art.

About the Author :
Garry Thomas Morse has had two books of poetry published by LINEbooks "Transversals for Orpheus" (2006) and "Streams" (2007) and three collections of fiction published by Talonbooks "Death in Vancouver" (2009), "Minor Episodes / Major Ruckus" (2012), and "Rogue Cells / Carbon Harbour," the latter two of which make up two of three books in The Chaos! Quincunx series. Talon has also published two books of Morse s poetry, "After Jack" (2010) and "Discovery Passages" (2011), which was a finalist for the Governor General s Award for Poetry and the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, and was also voted One of the Top Ten Poetry Collections of 2011 by the "Globe and Mail" and One of the Best Ten Aboriginal Books from the past decade by CBC s "8th Fire." "Minor Episodes / Major Ruckus" was shortlisted for the 2013 ReLit Awards. Grounded in the work of Arthur Rimbaud, Robert Desnos, Ezra Pound, Jack Spicer, Rainer Maria Rilke, and his Native oral traditions, Morse s work continues to appear in a variety of publications and is studied at various Canadian universities, including the University of British Columbia. He is the recipient of the 2008 City of Vancouver Mayor s Arts Award for Emerging Artist and has twice been selected as runner-up for the Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry. Morse currently lives in Regina, Saskatchewan."

Review :
From a brazen and perverse parody to variations on time collapse, the peregrinations of fledgling heroine Diminuenda Minor take the reader on a quest that evinces not only sophisticated sensibilities of a-muse-ment and arousal but also of existence itself. Sonia Di Placido, author of "Exaltation in Cadmium Red" In this entertaining, clever, genre-busting romp, Morse steers his courageous protagonist along a treacherous journey through time, weaving within the fast-moving plot references to classical literature, famous philosophers and ancient myths. Melanie Schnell, author of "While the Sun Is Above Us" " "From a brazen and perverse parody to variations on time collapse, the peregrinations of fledgling heroine Diminuenda Minor take the reader on a quest that evinces not only sophisticated sensibilities of a-muse-ment and arousal but also of existence itself." --Sonia Di Placido, author of "Exaltation in Cadmium Red" "In this entertaining, clever, genre-busting romp, Morse steers his courageous protagonist along a treacherous journey through time, weaving within the fast-moving plot references to classical literature, famous philosophers and ancient myths." --Melanie Schnell, author of "While the Sun Is Above Us"
