<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The context is Summer 2017, Vancouver, British Columbia, where economic imperatives are making space less and less accessible to lower-income individuals. The rental crisis is intensifying, ravenous real estate development is thriving and there is a province-wide forest fire emergency, which blankets the city in smoke. The protagonist, Dylan Levett, is a recent university graduate being "renovicted" from his rent-controlled apartment, the central point of view of the story.</p> <p><i>Notice</i> is a Kafkaesque story about a man caught in the gears of a bureaucracy, a spiral-down, bad-to-worse kind of story. Socially relevant, this is a funhouse mirror held up to Vancouver, a working-class story that stands apart with its composite of literary techniques. Overall, <i>Notice</i> focuses on displacement and petty frustration, applying a documentary sensibility to an original and topical scenario.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Notice</em> is a bad-to-worse, spiral-down story about an ornery man caught between the gears of gentrification and renoviction--a novel whose brutal gaze is repeatedly crossed by mice and rebar. It peels up the rug that is Vancouver to see what's been swept beneath, and follows a character who's trying to save himself from that same broom.</p>--Matthew Tomkinson, co-author of Archaic Torso of Gumby<br><br><p>Dustin Cole writes with clarity and passion, precision and accuracy. I see all the same qualities in <em>Notice</em>, which says more about Vancouver in the last decade than a thousand desperate pages of the "accommodation wanted" and "free stuff" sections on Craigslist.</p>--Richard Mackie, editor and publisher of The Ormsby Review<br>
