Introducing Ray's latest novel, David:

Born a slave in 1847, but raised as a free man on the world-renowned, African-American Elgin Settlement near present-day Chatham Ontario, David King is a man whose life has been defined by his violent rebellion against the very person who freed him--the Reverend William King. Triggered by the news of the elderly Reverend King's death, the middle-aged David is compelled to revisit a past he thought he left behind, but which--as evidenced by his inability to embrace the happiness he so dearly earned--he clearly has not.

David is a portal into a fascinating, if mostly unknown, piece of Canadian history, and is the story of a man's journey for wisdom, peace and forgiveness.

Ray Robertson is the Jerry Lee Lewis of North American Letters.

A graduate of the University of Toronto with High Distinction with a B.A. in philosophy and an M.F.A. in creative writing from Southwest Texas State University, Ray Robertson is the author of six novels, a book of essays, and is a contributing book reviewer to the Globe and Mail.

Clever, word-drunk, and falling-down funny...Robertson is a moral writer and a bitingly intelligent one, a man who writes with penetrating insight of what needs to be written about: beauty, truth and goodness.

One of Canada's finest novelists.
