The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal by Sean Dixon I think this pretty much says it all about this offbeat novel about a ladies' book group at an epic crossroads: ""An intellectual, sexual, logorrheic, bibliophilic, cryptological, political, and archaeological rant of the first order. The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal is widely imaginative, part comedy-part tragedy, and most likely entirely improbable, but I found it hard to put down and quite enjoyable too." Bruce Bauman, author of And The Word Was "Sean Dixon is a worthy successor to some of Canada's foremost authors. Sean Dixon, author of The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal, hails from Toronto, Canada and has published articles for The Globe and Mail, This Magazine, Joyland, Canadian Theatre Review, Akashic Books-Noir Series, and Brick, a literary journal. (Back cover) In addition to writing Mr. Dixon also enjoys acting and playing the banjo.

It's the story of a group of friends who find a family of sorts within their book group, who learn to cope with love, and the lack of it, loss, and the lack of that, and with growing up in a world that is falling apart. The Last Days of the Lacuna Cabal is an offbeat rites-of-passage novel whose characters live out literature with ferocity and passion. It is a funny, quixotic debut that follows the members of a shallow, squabbling, time-wasting, protracted-adolescent book club as they find themselves transformed through the alchemy of the storyteller’s art.
