About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
.The short stories in God's Autobio, Rolli's debut collection, are impossible, quite probable, and everything in between. There's a story about a man with a ridiculously huge coupon. About an elderly woman who befriends a frenzied robotic chimpanzee. An overzealous, if increasingly masochistic butler. Plus twenty-three other surreal, sublime, and satirical creations by Canadian writer/poet/artist Rolli, recipient of the John Kenneth Galbraith Literary Award, and one of the winners of the 2008/2009 Commonwealth Short Story Competition.
