  Russell Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russell C. Smith (born 1963 in South Africa) is a Canadian novelist.
Smith is one of Canada's most famous "urban" novelists; that is, unlike the traditional perception of Canadian literature as being about predominantly rural settings and themes, Smith writes specifically about big city life.
Smith's defenders, on the other hand, point out that Smith's fiction reflects the day-to-day reality of many young professional Canadians' lives more closely than many other Canadian writers.

Smith does an excellent job of capturing the blasé mood that has stricken many of the youth/young adults in today's world as they try to hold on the trappings of their youth, while being kicked into getting jobs by an economy that is hungry for new blood.
Smith's medium is the realm of the senses, and 'Noise' makes the same allusions to the auditory that Suskind's 'Perfume' does for the olfacotry.
Smith's ear for language and easy facility in slipping in and out of the au courant phrases in a spectrum of fields gives a smooth flow with few jarring linguistic display-pieces.

 Russell Smith - Tree Crops - 1
Smith begins his thinking with a fact that agricultural industrialists have made a convention of ignoring: that most land is vulnerable to erosion, and much land, especially hilly land, is extremely so.
The result, as J. Russell Smith saw, was a catastrophic impropriety: "Man has carried to the hills the agriculture of the flat plain." The catastrophe was, and is, soil erosion.
Smith's vision is inherently and necessarily a democratic one.

Smith immediately grasps the nut of the tragedy, which is that the "codes of this conflict" are "confusing to Westerners".
Indeed, Smith is one of those radiant, longsuffering souls who feel that, if they could only drive into our thick skulls the grievances and perspectives of those people who fervently regard our society as the wellspring of all evil, we might repent and turn from what they percieve to be the road to hell.
Smith is too typical of the kind of moral imbecile whose status as a "creative" person has insulated him from the harsh task of really understanding the threat behind mob violence, or taking a truly moral stand, since art, after all, is so much more perfect than morality.

 Roger Smith & John Russell : Features : One Final Note
Smith's sound much of the time is precise and delicate, but retains a tensile directness that resists the easy impulse to stray into obtuse meanderings.
Compared to Smith, Russell's approach seems less consciously concise, his fingerings more craggy and crenellated with wide open spaces plugged between them, perhaps due in part to his use of a plectrum.
Both Russell and Smith have been at their respective games for decades and each man has honed an individual style that guides the way in these solitary and highly idiosyncratic sessions.
