THE NOVEL THAT TALKS ABOUT THE STUFF PEOPLE DON’T TALK ABOUT
FROM THE HEART - UNTROUBLED HEART INC.
This book is quite possibly the best novel of the century (I could be biased, being close to the author, but many people seem to agree). It talks about the things people don’t want to talk about. Situations that impact people’s lives every day. Things that affect their families, their loved ones and people they don’t even know; like the titles of the first three chapters: Strangers, Friends and Lovers.
Vibrant, sometimes brutal characters come to life in a funny, tender, sometimes cruel life, dealing with issues like “coming out”, AIDS, and how it affects everyone – straight from the heart, right here in the heart of Toronto, and beyond.
The Toronto You Are Leaving, a novel by Gordon Stewart Anderson, is hot off the presses at Coach House from Untroubled Heart Inc., resplendent with a poignant cover picture of one of Steve Walker’s paintings titled “Someone To Be Loved.”
This book is the only novel published of Gordon Stewart Anderson’s and the first publication of UNTROUBLED HEART INC.
The brand new publishing house of UNTROUBLED HEART INC. was conceptualized by a mother fulfilling her dying son’s wish. Publishers told her, “I don’t care how good it is. It talks about gay people. It talks about AIDS. It talks about death. No one wants to read that.” And so, UNTROUBLED HEART INC. was born, to fulfill Gordon’s wish to help people. “Please find a way to publish it mom. If it can help save even one life, it is worth it.”
Suicides, murders, fatal illnesses plague today’s society.
The Toronto You are Leaving is an entertaining, tender and direct love story. It addresses issues that no one wants to talk about in today’s society, things that are happening all around each and every one of us, happening TO many of us.
Know anybody who’s gay and scared? Know anybody who’s gay and remembers being scared of it? Know anyone who knows someone who is?
Know anyone who is living with the reality of AIDS? Know anyone who has lost someone to AIDS? Know anyone you don’t want to get AIDS?
Know anyone who loves a good controversial novel?
