Not since high school have I picked up a book and it captured my attention I read it all at once. Picked up Flicking The Bic on release. There is no shortage of sex, violence, and racism in the world of Jean-Max, but damn if Tia Ja'nae doesn't give us a glimpse into the world of 1990s Toronto you had to see to believe. It's the perfect compliment to Vern Smith's Scratching The Flint and does it complete justice in exploring the type of asshole you're glad is dead when the book starts.
