"Praise for Sleep is Now a Foreign Country ""As riveting as it is terrifying, as mysterious as it is illuminating, Mike Barnes's Sleep is Now a Foreign Country takes us inside the claustrophobic, kaleidoscopic world of madness. Like a sedimentary rock, layers of meaning are stacked upon one another inside its slim pages, building a structure so unlike any other book that you can't put it down without being changed."" —Alicia Elliott, author of A Mind Spread Out on the Ground “Sleep is Now a Foreign Country is an intricately structured rendering of madness and memory, a mix of hallucination and dense, concrete realism, which only makes the phantasmagoria of illusion all the more poignant. This is an amazing work—supremely intelligent, coolly self-analytical, eerie, melancholy, revelatory and terrifying.” —Douglas Glover, winner of the Governor-General’s Award for Elle Praise for Mike Barnes “Timely, lyrical, tough, accurate.” —Margaret Atwood on Twitter “Masterful … The Adjustment League is suspenseful, exquisitely written and—at times—corrosively funny.” —Maclean’s “Fiercely alive, marked by a sharp, unerring eye for detail and a wonderful way with metaphors.” —Toronto Star “Poetically compelling and evocative … The Lily Pond is the ultimate act of recollection.” —Quill and Quire"
