When it first appeared in 1992, Spin Dry received rave reviews, won the Georges Bugnet Award for the Novel and was shortlisted for the Smith’s/Books in Canada First Novel Award. Set in a suburban sleep disturbance clinic, Spin Dry follows the story of a woman who undergoes dream deprivation in order to discover the identity of a man obsessing her husband. It’s a comic satire of husbands and wives, female friendship, daughters and mothers, obsessive love and psychological scrutiny in a suburban age. This novel of post-war angst was the first to confirm Greg Hollingshead, one of Canada’s most original storytellers, as a virtuoso writer.
