Blurbs and reviews for The Girl With the Full Figure Is Your Daughter

…I was captivated,

reading after reading; so much of [the] book just blew me away.

Michael Holmes, Editor, ECW

…polished writing

…these stories are small, hard bullets…

Joy Gugeler, Raincoast

The rapidly unreeling dream (or nightmare) of each of these stories—stories of drifters, hookers, highway victims, corporate spies and con-men, dead-beat dads and the heartbroken—comes at us from off-kilter angles that are wholly the author’s own. His imagination is bold and unbreaking, his instinct for the aptest detail is sure-fire. Here is an unignorable debut.

Steven Heighton, author of the bestselling novel The Shadow Boxer

Rife with the blackest humour, quirky, unadorned, Oscar Martens’ stories are full of characters on a collision course with each other and with the world. In the resulting aftermath, we gain this original new voice, this dark, edgy satirist of the human condition.

Nadine McInnis, author of the acclaimed Quicksilver

…formally innovative, disquieting and darkly incisive.

Jim Bartley, The Globe and Mail

…an original

and refreshing voice with a great deal of promise…

Denise Bukowski, The Bukowski Agency
