What's in a name? Personal misfortune, or so it would appear if your name happens to be "Flam Grub." This touching contemporary fable shows how our lives are entwined with our names--and how our destinies are never certain.Full of humour and sadness, quirky wit, and quiet moments of beauty, Flam Grub tells the tale of a young man's misadventures and his retreat to the security of reading books, work in a bookstore, and a career as an undertaker--until fame unexpectedly comes his way.Both an endearing tale and a shrewd send-up of contemporary life, Flam Grub is the second book from the rich imagination and skillful pen of new Canadian author Dan Dowhal.
