Russell Smith is one of Canada’s funniest and nastiest writers. His previous novels, including How Insensitive and Girl Crazy, are records of urban frenzy and exciting underworlds. He writes a provocative weekly column on the arts in the national Globe and Mail, and teaches in the MFA program at the University of Guelph. Confidence by Russell Smith, the short story collection published by Biblioasis was just announced as a finalist for the prestigious Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize.
He hates folk music.
