PRAISE FOR THE TONY VICAR SERIES “Ditrich presents a fresh, gonzo voice in his debut novel, a quirky tale of the down side of life and a promise of redemption in a narrative that is entertaining.” BOOKLIST “Ditrich’s quick, clever, punchy prose will hold your attention, make you laugh, make you ponder, and make you forget about the chaos of the world.” Jann Arden, singer and author of Feeding My Mother “The Liquor Vicar is an energetic romp through a closet community on the Island, populated by well-drawn characters and strewn with more references to pop culture and euphemisms than you can shake a stick at.” WINNIPEG FREE PRESS “Funny, silly, lighthearted, sentimental, snarky, and often hyperactive with comic energy, Vince R. Ditrich’s novel tells a tall, quirky tale of redemption in snack-sized chapters.” VANCOUVER SUN “Vince R. Ditrich's debut novel, The Liquor Vicar, is indeed a romp. It's comical, engrossing, and even uplifting.” BC BOOKWORLD “A laugh out loud, wild romp with a cast of hilarious eccentrics.” — Alison Kelly, Granville Island ABC – A Family Adventure “Vince Ditrich is a thunderous musician, and one heck of a storyteller. I’d recommend strapping in tight for this book... and you might want to wear a helmet too!” — Ed Robertson, member of the band Barenaked Ladies
