09/19/2005: "Welcome to My Blog"

I've been told to update this section. It's getting a little cob-webby, I must say.

I'm Craig Davidson, and welcome to my blog set up by the fine folks at Penguin. My upcoming book is called THE FIGHTER. You can read all about it at www.thefighter.ca. You can buy it online at www.Penguin.ca, www.amazon.ca, www.chapters.ca. It is a harrowing book about love in the time of cholera. It is a heartwarming book about the triumph of the human spirit against impossible odds. It is the story of a horse named Gimpy Sue who won the Belmont Stakes on three legs and a broomstick. It's a story of love, honor, redemption, and the hero that lives inside of us all.

HA---no way, Jose! It's about NONE of that stuff.

It's called THE FIGHTER. You can guess what it's about.

Your most humble servant,

Craig Davidson, Esq.

"Davidson…smudges the line between comedy and horror, cruelty and mercy. His remarkable stories are challenging and upsetting…Don’t look for comfort here." —Chuck Palahniuk, FIGHT CLUB.

"These big, riveting stories about tough guys in trouble are the best I've read in a long time from a young writer. There's enough incident, shock, and suspense for a dozen books. This collection is filled with stories you haven't heard before." — Bret Easton Ellis, AMERICAN PSYCHO

"There is a strikingly original tone to Mr. Davidson's stories. The prose is spare yet elegant, the insights are fresh and real, and best of all there is a boundless humanity in Mr. Davidson's writing: a love of life that is beautifully woven with an acute sense of its darkness. This is in every way an extraordinary book." — Clive Barker
