No relation : a novel / Terry Fallis.
Meet Earnest Hemmingway. What's in a name? Well, if you share your moniker with the likes of some of the most revered, infamous, and sometimes dreaded names in history, plenty. This is Earnest's lifelong plight, but something more recent is on his plate: His father is pressuring him to come home and play an active role in running the family clothing business. And as a complex familial battle plays out, Earnest's inherited name leads him in unexpected directions.
Winner of the 2011 Canada Reads, author Terry Fallis' sharp, funny wit takes readers into the world of identity, inheritance, and belonging - begging the question: what's in a name? One morning a young copywriter finds himself unceremoniously fired from his job, and then catches his live-in girlfriend moving out of their apartment a couple of hours later. Believe it or not, these aren't the biggest problems in this copywriter's life. There's something bigger, something that has been haunting him his whole life, something that he'll never be able to shake.
