Rourke is the "leading light of the self-styled Off-Beat Generation." The Guardian
The book: A deeply compelling tale of a man who finds his life so boring it frightens him. So he quits his job to spend some time sitting on a bench beside a quiet canal in a placid London neighbourhood. His solace is soon interrupted when a jittery young woman tells him a chilling story about a terrible act she committed, something for which she just can't forgive herself... (The book on Blackwell.co.uk / The publisher.)
The author: Lee Rourke is a London-based writer and editor. He is the author of the short story collection Everyday. He has also written for numerous national newspapers as well as book blogs such as Ready, Steady, Book. He is contributing editor for 3:AM Magazine and blogs at SPONGE! (Lee's website.)
"A story assembled from everyday objects, unassumingly and quietly, that stuns and horrifies by increments...
"The Canal may look, at first glance, like a love story, but it harnesses the power of parable."
John Wray, author of Lowboy
