DR SAD
Description
DR SAD is a cross-country, cross-campus tragicomedy of manners. Leaping between queer Toronto and small-town BC, this novel interrogates art, aging, teaching, and how we create ourselves within an ever-changing world. The story of Stephen, a middle-aged gay man facing his future and confronting his past while navigating an HIV diagnosis, DR SAD unflinchingly examines the difference between living life and simply enduring it.
Reviews
With this new novel, Bateman reveals the breadth of his talent . . . DR SAD is, like the author himself, smart, funny and kind of wonderful.
- Paul Bellini, theBUZZ
David Bateman?s voluptuous prose is darkly comic . . . words and metaphors flow and ebb and jump in unexpected ways, before giving a precisely ambiguous reading that is eerily evocative. There is much pleasure to be found.
