Praise for The Listeners: 'The Listeners starts as a little hum in your ear and ends up blowing the top off your head. A deeply plausible, funny, horrifying story of a journey right off the rails' Emma Donoghue, author of The Pull of the Stars Praise for Liminal: 'Moves at a breakneck pace, combining science, philosophy, spirituality, and pop culture . Readers may never think about living or dying the same way again' This Magazine 'Tannahill is a good writer, a natural storyteller with a strong sense of narrative rhythm as well as the ability to launch into almost mystical flights of poetic vision' Toronto Star 'Authors such as Ben Lerner, Rachel Cusk, and Karl Ove Knausgaard, among others, are showing their exhaustion with plot, opting to be candid, probing, philosophical, and discursive at a micro-level on the page. Toronto playwright Jordan Tannahill's lushly intelligent debut novel, Liminal, is an exciting addition to this school . Liminal captures something illuminating and undefinable about the present moment . A real jaw-dropping intellectual feat . A rich and unusual story' Globe and Mail 'Liminal is generous, bold, unabashedly emotional, and really smart - an ultra-engaging portrait of the artist, and portal to the art.' Ann-Marie Macdonald, author of The Way the Crow Flies 'A raw love letter to a mother, and a blazing meditation on love, death, and dying, Jordan Tannahill's Liminal is a full-fledged unleashing from a major literary talent' Anosh Irani, author of The Parcel 'This book has everything: a road trip, coming of age, philosophy, mythology, meditation on the nature of self, and the tender love of a son for his mother all infused with uncommon emotional intelligence' Teva Harrison, author of In-Between Days.
