 Montreal Mirror : Theatre - Trevor Ferguson’s Long, Long, Short, Long
It’s appropriate that the word “long” appears three times in the title of Trevor Ferguson’s wordy new play, currently running at the Monument-National.
Ferguson is going for something big and ambitious in this piece—at its best, the writing is reminiscent of American greats like Eugene O’Neil and Arthur Miller—but the text wasn’t ready for a full production.
Ferguson reaches for the poetry in the lives of these manual labourers, but it too often seems artificially imposed on them.

 Interview | John Farrow
If it weren't that things have gone so well for him since, there would be tragedy in the fact that Canadian novelist Trevor Ferguson had not only to adopt a pen name but move into a whole new genre of fiction in order to finally win widespread appreciation for his art.
Set in modern-day Montreal, where Ferguson has lived for most of his life, City of Ice was a carefully herded stampede of biker gang violence, Russian thuggery, civic corruption, premeditated murder and squabbling between Canadian and international law-enforcement agencies.

 Eye Weekly - BOOKS: The Fire Line -- Trevor Ferguson - 06.08.95
Ferguson, who hails from Montreal, began his literary apprenticeship writing at night in the bunkhouses of railway construction gangs, and The Fire Line calls on experiences from that time.
The novel is a cinematic tale of creation and destruction set in coastal B.C. Reed Kitchen (whom I imagined played by Harry Dean Stanton) is a second-generation railroad man whose endless chatter echoes the rhythmic clatter of a train in motion.
Ferguson's style could almost be described as impressionistic -- simultaneously spare and ornate.

 Eye - BOOKS: Trevor Ferguson -- The True Life Adventures of Sparrow Drinkwater - 08.19.93   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The book was inspired by the strange life of Norman LeBlanc, one of Ferguson's childhood acquaintances from Montreal's Park Extension area, a working-class district so feared by its Mount Royal neighbors that they erected a Berlin Wall-style chain-link fence along their common border.
But they pale in comparison to the events of the childhood that the author has invented for his character: Ferguson's Sparrow Drinkwater is raised in a Mississippi mental hospital by a schizophrenic mother who thinks he is the product of a midnight tryst with a raven.
Ferguson writes best when creating absurd, darkly humorous anecdotes and networks of images that work on a near- unconscious level, and the intrusion of reality seems to have cramped his style.

TREVOR FERGUSON is the author of High Water Chants as well as five other critically acclaimed novels: Onyx John, The Kinkajou, The True Life Adventures of Sparrow Drinkwater, The Fire Line and The Timekeeper.
Ambitious and filled with strongly-worded prose, this is a novel that shows where Ferguson was headed when he started out as a writer: his talent is already clear, even though you can see some of the problems of any first novel lurking around.
Ferguson has another distinctive style, however, that brings him closer to John Irving or a Robertson Davies gone wild in the 70s.
