Dayle Furlong studied literature at York University and attended the Humber School for Writers. Her critically acclaimed poetry and fiction have appeared in numerous journals. She works as a literary publicist and is a member of an all-women's writing salon in Toronto. She lives in Toronto.
Furlong makes us feel the bite of barely thwarted poverty and the
mounting inevitability that at least one of her characters will be
tempted by the lure of easy money. An astute observer of the
intimacies of marriage, she knows her men and women inside and out,
the ways they misjudge themselves and each other, and, however
misguided, try to provide comfort and hope. Saltwater Cowboys is an
insightful, unmistakably Canadian novel with a social
conscience.
*Diana Fitzgerald Bryden, author of No Place Strange*
Furlong is very good at conveying the isolation and loneliness the
main characters feel.
