"I loved David Gilmour’s sleek, potent little memoir, The Film Club. It’s so, so wise in the ways of fathers and sons, of movies and movie-goers, of love and loss." --- Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Empire Falls"If all sons had dads like David Gilmour, then Oedipus would be a forgotten legend and Father’s Day would be a worldwide film festival."--Sean Wilsey, author of Oh the Glory of It All"David Gilmour is a very unlikely moral guidance counselor: he’s broke, more or less unemployed and has two children by two different women. Yet when it looks as

After she leaves you, how bad can it get? An exhilarating novel of erotic and psychotic extremes from one of Canada’s best novelists. Everyone would agree that Darius Halloway is the most civilized of men--a professor of French literature, a connoisseur of ideas and women and wine, a perfect guest at life’s dinner party. Darius himself would agree--that is, he would until Emma, waifish and insatiable Emma, leaves her empty clothes hangers rattling in his closet and walks out the door. For a little while, it’s not so bad. He’s in shock. He thinks she must come back

"Elegant biography . . . a fast-moving, entertaining, and finely written story." --Simon Schama, The New Yorker George Nathaniel Curzon’s controversial life in public service stretched from the high noon of his country’s empire to the traumatized years following World War I. As viceroy of India under Queen Victoria and foreign secretary under King George V, the obsessive Lord Curzon left his unmistakable mark on the era. David Gilmour’s award-winning book is a brilliant assessment of Curzon’s character and achievements, offering a richly dramatic account of the infamous

The tranquil atmosphere of the cathedral town of Barchester is shattered when a scandal breaks concerning the financial affairs of a Church-run almshouse for elderly men. In the ensuing furore, Septimus Harding, the almshouse’s well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter’s suitor Dr. John Bold, a zealous local reformer. Matters are not improved when Harding’s abrasive son-in law, Archdeacon Grantly, leaps into the fray to defend him against a campaign Bold begins in the national press. An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church

One day, Ralph Goldstein switches on the television to hear Ruud Gullit, former Dutch International and Chelsea player-manager extraordinaire coining the famous phrase "Sexy Football," and realizes how these two simple words sum up everything he believes in. Ralph had long felt that soccer could be a beautiful, fulfilling, artistic expression of love if we went about it in a positive manner. And by the way, if it was possible to play soccer in such a fashion, why not live like that too? "Sexy Football" is ostensibly a novel about soccer but shoots off at bizarre tangents into many unexpected a

Politics may be the art of compromise, but accepting a compromise can be hazardous to a politician’s health.  Politicians worry about betraying faithful supporters, about losing the upper hand on an issue before the next election, that accepting half a loaf today can make it harder to get the whole loaf tomorrow.  In his original interpretation of competition between parties and between Congress and the president, Gilmour explains the strategies available to politicians who prefer to disagree and uncovers the lost opportunities to pass important legislation that result from this disagreeme
