Told in "real time," Smoke Show is raw, candid, amorphous; told through jargon and petty dialogue commonly heard in the street or on public transit, Smoke Show is a novel told in conversation.

Shortlisted for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize. A novel of many voices Burnham combines a poet's rhythmic sensibility with an impeccable ear for self-contradictory speech.
