The Boulevard is an ambitious novel featuring Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh, Satan, and a train ride through Hell.
For the first time since Satan's banishment, God plans a visit to the lower world, and Satan is in a bind. In defiance, he has built Hell in the image of Heaven, but now he must destroy its beauty or face God's wrath. Singed with dark humour, packed with historical detail and written in Edson's straightforward style, with themes that include the search for happiness and the importance of staying true to oneself, The Boulevard is first and foremost a testament to the undeniable power of art.
A well-crafted novel by Jerrod Edson. Art lovers will appreciate all the details of Van Gogh's life as well as those of his contemporaries.
-- The Seaboard Review
Any reader who has an interest in art history, theology, and literature will be spellbound by the way Edson integrates them into the compelling magical realism of The Boulevard.
-- Prism International
A visionary work that turns popular myth on its head, and its weirdness is essential to the singular fictional world it convincingly evokes. Jarrod Edson, writing with great confidence, proves there is nothing beyond the scope of his imaginative powers. The Boulevard, his sixth novel, is an irreverent triumph.
-- Ian Colford, author
Jerrod Edson was born in Saint John, NB, in 1974. He lives in Mississauga, ON, with his wife Leigh and daughters Hadley and Harper. The Boulevard is his sixth novel.
