Her most recent novel, Time Squared, was published in 2021.Says critic Kerry Clare, "I’ll dive right in and tell you that the novel, Time Squared by Lesley Krueger, which I’ve loved more than I’ve loved than any book I’ve read in ages, could be billed as Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life meets Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, if we wanted to underline just how badly you really ought to read it. And oh, you really do."Lesley's previous novel, Mad Richard, is available as a paperback, e-book and on Audible. Both her widely-praised first story collection, Hard Travel, and her novel, Poor Player, have been recently re-released as e-books.According to Quill & Quire, "Lesley Krueger’s Poor Player is a complex tale revolving around Jack Hall, a Canadian actor disillusioned with life in Los Angeles, who heads for Central America where he hopes to 'do his bit for humanity.' Stopping off in Mexico to learn Spanish, he contacts Hugh Bruce, a journalist friend of his sister’s... Through Hugh’s relationship with Jack, Krueger illustrates that we not only have a filtered view of Mexico, but that moral, spiritual and physical oppression are far more subtle than the slap-in-the-face antics of mainstream journalism and commercial depictions."Say the Toronto Star, "Krueger never moralizes and she never slams the book shut on the difficult questions. 'You’re not wrong,' the locals tell the gringos. 'You’re in the wrong country, maybe, but you’re not wrong.'Lesley was born in Vancouver, Canada and after living in Boston, Mass., London, England, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City, she makes her home in Toronto. There she writes fiction, works on films, and plays hockey in her women's beer leagues.показать меньше
