"To Place a Rabbit...isn’t interested in abolishing the novel form. Instead, it’s interested in questioning what the familiar indicators of fiction make possible. What can fiction do that nonfiction cannot?" Gorgeous review-essay by Prof. Kasia Van Schaik on my novel. ex-puritan.ca/an-extra-lif...

Looking forward to returning to the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy @ictp.bsky.social where I started out as a postdoctoral fellow in 1997, applying complex systems theory to study ecosystem structure and dynamics with a fellowship from NSERC.

I’m thrilled to share that my debut novel TO PLACE A RABBIT (Knopf Canada) has been selected by the The Globe and Mail as one of their “100 best books of 2025.” Thank you to everyone who has supported this book so far through events, reviews, and more.

“People have the wrong idea of writing and of time. Writing does not require time. Or more precisely, time is not the limiting factor.” An idea for me to ponder from Madhur Anand’s novel, To Place a Rabbit

I’m thrilled to share the news that I will be participating in a number of literary festivals and public events this coming September in southern Ontario to discuss my debut novel "To Place a Rabbit" which released this past spring. RSVP to your local event directly on their websites.
