Every Lost Country,
by Steven Heighton,
Knopf Canada,
330 pages, $29.95
Yes, Heighton's ideas are once again big and difficult – What does it mean to behave responsibly in a world fractured and fragmented by political and personal irresponsibilities, foreign and domestic? – and his language continues to grow in beauty.
But there's a quantum leap in insecurity, social complexity and intensity of the storytelling between his second and third novels. There are no longueurs: Every page, minor character and plot twist matters. Every Lost Country not only rivets readers to their seats, it challenges them to rethink the David-and-Goliath inequalities of this new millennium.
