Douglas & McIntyre

oddball @ large

By: Bill Richardson

Many of these wry, self-mocking pieces are drawn from his own haphazard encounters with parents, pets, lovers, gal pals, total strangers and intractable objects. Others are spun from the fancies and figments of his nimble and mischievous imagination. All of them display a relish for oddities, an eye for irony and a wickedly witty way with words. Bill Richardson�s popular books about the Bachelor Brothers have been described by Publishers Weekly as a combination of Northern Exposure and A Year in Provence. Bill Richardson is the host of Richardson�s Roundup on CBC Radio One, the host of Booked on Saturday Night on CBC Television in Vancouver and a columnist for the Georgia Straight. He is the author of Bachelor Brothers� Bed and Breakfast, which won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, as well as Bachelor Brothers� Bed and Breakfast Pillow Book and Bachelor Brothers� Bedside Companion.
