The Exalted Company of Roadside Martyrs
Info
Warren Cariou's first book The Exalted Company of Roadside Martyrs is two novellas about flawed people in positions of authority. In The Shrine of Badger King, a Metis politician is representing a squalid northern riding, when his alter ego, Badger King, challenges his right to represent the people. In Lazarus, Father Silvan recklessly marries the town ne'er-do-well to Guadaloupe, his Mexican mail-order bride, then falls for the young woman himself. Cariou has won a CBC Literary Competition Prize. 1-55050-145-3
