Set during the production of an out-of-control television comedy in 1989 Toronto, Under the Table is a snappy heist novel that will keep ‘em guessing. Much like the sketch show that it portrays, Under the Table entertains with dark humor, quirky characters, and celebrity appearances, while poking fun at the absurdity of societal constructs. Quippy and smart, Smith’s prose is electric and crackles across the page. Wickedly funny, you’ll laugh even though you know you shouldn’t.

Sobre el autor
Vern Smith’s new novel, Under the Table, is low-rent noir set on a TV shoot for a made-in-Canada comedy sketch program slated to air on American cable, circa 1989. A former production assistant, Smith spent almost 10 years on the fringes of the film and television industry as a writer and copy editor for Canadian Screenwriter magazine. He has also worked as a newspaper reporter, political advisor, radio DJ, and caddy. His first novel, The Green Ghetto (Run Amok Books, 2019), was deemed ‘a model for modern westerns’ by Broken Pencil. His novelette, The Gimmick–a finalist for Canada’s highest crime-writing honor, the Arthur Ellis Award–is the title track of his second collection of fiction, The Gimmick: novelettes, stories, and sketches (Run Amok Books, 2020). A Windsor, Ontario native and longtime Toronto resident, he now lives on the wild blue yonder of the Illinois prairie.
