THREE IN ONE

Three in One is an astonishing authorial party trick from Larry Gaudet, the award-winning Canadian writer. In the past three years, he's not only published two original works of fiction, but now there's more, much more, almost overnight, it seems: a new trilogy of fiction, including a short story collection and two new novels, to bring his oeuvre up to eleven uniquely inventive works in the past 25 years. Is there more than one Larry Gaudet hiding in a secret book factory? Regardless, Three In One presents a writer at the height of his powers as each of the books described below will reveal:

Faith.

This short story collection dives into family and romantic melodrama, dystopian futurism and satirical portraits of the corporate mindset. Enlivened by a provocative rendering of the contemporary forces shaping human psychology and cognition, Gaudet’s stories capture the disorienting essence of our futuristic present day while anchored in an enduring idea best captured by Faulkner: the past is not dead, it’s not even past.

Heavenly Point.

Sabine Lafleur is heiress to a billion-dollar fortune built by her father, the disgraced founder of a drug company that cornered the opioids market. At her coastal retreat in rural Nova Scotia, Sabine secretly assembles activists, patent lawyers, lobbyists, disinformation experts and criminals, including her ne’er-do-well boyfriend, a local man, Hector Gallant, all working to stop dangerous or ineffective drugs from reaching the world. Equal parts murder mystery and ghost story, Heavenly Point features the voice of a dead Sabine, in the afterlife, intent on exposing the complex forces that profit from our desire for health but only make us sicker.

The Book of Corporate Revelations

The Book of Corporate Revelations maps the dark, atherosclerotic heart of organizational culture. In exploring the systemic forces that harm employee wellbeing, the book provides compelling insight into the mind control games that organizations play using strategies long employed to unify totalitarian mass movements and cults. Energized by Gaudet’s empathy for people trapped, and often traumatized, by the pressures at work, The Book of Corporate Revelations is ideally meant for those trying to protect their better selves in today’s corrosive workplace.
