Clyde

The story of a successful Ottawa investor and political consultant - very much representative of the post-WWII, Baby Boomer generation - who, in the wake of betrayal by his childhood best friend, sets about to review his past and the people who have shaped his life ("a half century of getting along by going along") - critics and contemporaries have called Clyde "a novel of sly humour, as if Ian McEwan met Kingsley Amis and they wrote a book together" and "Helwig at his best."
