Notes: Trevor Cole is an award-winning magazine journalist as well as a fiction writer, writing for such publications as Toronto Life and Report on Business Magazine. His first novel, Norman Bray in the Performance of His Life, was short-listed for the 2004 Governor General's Award for Literature, was nominated for the regional Commonwealth Writer's Prize for Best First Book, and was long-listed for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. His second novel, The Fearsome Particles, published in September of 2006, was short-listed for the 2006 Governor General's Award. Both books have been adapted for CBC radio and optioned for film.


"The Fearsome Particles is one of the most entertaining novels I’ve read this year.... In its intimate examination of the inner lives of its characters, however, it becomes something greater, opening the door to fundamental and significant human truths. Its power comes from its narrowing of focus, and from Cole’s significant strengths as a writer.
— Robert J. Wiersema, The National Post
