<p>It’s 1994 and Pete Curtis can’t wait to get out of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Already, he’s playing drums in a band whose songs belong on mix-tapes everywhere. Even though his new girlfriend seems underwhelmed, he knows it’s just a matter of time before he and his pals break big.</p><p>Ten years later, Pete is stuck teaching high school in the hometown he longed to escape, while his former best friend and bandmate is a bona fide rock star.</p><p>In his debut novel, with its compelling hook and realistically flawed characters, Greg Rhyno remembers the time signatures of mid-nineties. Told in two alternating decades, <i>To Me You Seem Giant</i> is a raucous and evocative story about the difficulties of living in the present when you can’t escape your past.</p><p><br>Praise for <i>To Me You Seem Giant</i><br><br>"A brooding tenor – combined with a lifelong love for music that manifests itself in new ways as he ages – lends Pete’s character a believable continuity."<br>~ Becky Robertson, <i>Quill & Quire</i><br><br>“<i>To Me You Seem Giant</i> is ultimately a touching and hopeful reminder of the need to confront the demons of your past in order to move on.”<br>~ Alexander Kosoris, <i>The Walleye</i><br><br>"Underneath the layers of rock and roll is a compelling tale of lost loves, backstabbing bandmates and wondering where it all went wrong."<br>~ Steven Sandor, <i>Avenue Edmonton</i></p>
