Toronto Standard looks at The Many Revenges of Kip Flynn

On May 6, 2011, the Toronto Standard had a quick look at Sean Dixon's The Many Revenges of Kip Flynn:

Revenge ballads

Is the socialist noir becoming the preeminent genre of literary Toronto? As nobler ideals become repressed in life and law, revenge against power and the privileged is expressed in dreamlike narratives of corruption and downfall. That’s how modern pulp culture came to be and what storytelling in Conservative-Blue Ontario will look like more and more. For the record, let’s say this nascent genre kicks off with Sean Dixon’s new novel, The Many Revenges of Kip Flynn. It launches at The Boat this Thursday, with Sheila Heti, Bob Wiseman and others performing revenge songs, revenge videos, and revenge theatre. I guess The Boat will be providing the revenge seafood. May 11, The Boat, 158 Augusta, Toronto. Doors 8 pm. Free.
