Strube's bitter humour probably hasn't helped her with readership in the past, and Cole's more gentle variety won't win his debut novel any favours in the CanLit prize world.
Compared to Norman, Cordelia Strube's protagonist McKenna has real problems, very few of which are her own fault.
That Strube can take the undercurrent of rage that fuels this Hieronymus Bosch-like litany of horrors and craft a conclusion that is both believable and hopeful is a remarkable literary feat.

Nominated for the 1995 Smithbooks/Books in Canada First Novel award and the recipient of widespread critical acclaim, Alex & Zee is the latest reissue of Cordelia Strube's wickedly astute novels on contemporary relationships.
The story of Zee, an aimless ex-lawyer who has turned his inability to make a decision into a fine art, and his wife Alex, a practical and hard-working social worker who feels her biological clock ticking loudly, Alex & Zee reverberates with the emotional crises of the urban adult.

 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Sadly Cordelia Strube's Blind Night should remain in the dark.
While occasionally heartfelt and intriguing, this post-junkie novel never emerges from a costly pan-bitchiness which ultimately insults the socially and financially marginalized subjects invoked.
The promising emotional terrain in Cordelia Strube's Blind Night is unjustly eroded by its inaccurate, costly voice.

Instead, I should have been looking for a 40-something mom named Cordelia Strube.
My only excuse for not noticing Blind Night sooner is its off-putting cover (I know, never judge, blah blah), which to my cynical eye advertised a tale of inner torment.
Moments like these resonate because Strube is forced to powerdrill through the barnacled exterior of her protagonist before McKenna's messy emotional core can be revealed.

 Books: December 7, 2000
I like to work up just the right bad mood beforehand so that I'll be grateful for even the slightest bit of happiness on December 25.
After her last novel, Dr. Kabfleish and the Chicken Restaurant, about Raymond, a passive restaurant manager who goes looking for his birth mother, I didn't think Strube could write a darker dysfunctional family novel.
Or they can read on, secure that in every Strube novel there will be so many twists that no review could capture more than a slim fraction.

 Teaching Pigs to Sing
Rita wants to pop her six-year-old son Max in a baggie with a Ziploc top - so she can preserve his innocence and trust, so she won't have to watch him lose faith in the world.
Teaching Pigs to Sing creates a recognizable world of urban decay - of hospital waiting rooms, donut shops, vandalized cars, stolen goods, scary parks.
But in this precarious world, made even more tentative by the inability of men and women to love one another, Strube, with wit and compassion, can still find resilience and glimmers of hope.
