Shortlisted for the 2001 Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour.
In a desperate attempt to save his foundering charity ― and to exorcise a few personal demons ― Canadian philanthropist Junior Beamish creates a lottery in which the winner gets to publicly torch an original van Gogh. A grand comedy about art, commerce and untidy family relationships, The Phoenix Lottery sweeps from Mafia hits in post-war Italy to post-millennial Vatican intrigue by way of revolutionary Cuba, Bay Street backstabs, a seance on Baffin Island, and a Port Elgin S&M bed and breakfast.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Thus. A clean, tight, unmarked copy. An epic tale that sweeps from Mafia hits in post-war Italy to post-millennial Vatican intrigue by way of revolutionary Cuba, a séance on Baffin Island, and a rural S&M bed and breakfast - crossing the paths of Meyer Lansky, Fidel Castro, and the spirit of Vincent van Gogh. An exploration of art, commerce, and untidy family relationships, this is a grand comedy told with outrageous wit, exuberant storytelling and a keen eye for the masks with which society maintains the fiction of a moral world.
