Nick, a young physician disillusioned with clinical work, moves from small province New Brunswick to big city Vancouver to take a research position with a medical startup, A.I. Plus Womxn's Health Solutions. Nick quickly finds himself working in the company of "Grantrepreneurs" - rogues of the business world who have created a financing model based entirely on the outrageous exploitation of public grant and subsidy programs. When they seek to secure Fisheries and Oceans financing for a koi fountain in their lobby, Nick and his new friends rub elbows with Chinese-Canadian gangsters, famous Canadian authors, and even the prime minister himself (in the midst of a cough-syrup-induced existential crisis). It's a lot of fun until someone shows up dead in a decorative water feature. With scalpel-sharp wit, hilarious schemes and generous injections of heart, Jake Swan has written a page-turning, laugh-out-loud, idol-skewering misadventure.

Short Stories & Anthologies

A stylish, mordant, propulsive academic satire and burlesque of the imagination in which "spiritual entrepreneurism" passes for higher education, and an unexpected hero (an adjunct writing instructor), finding he is "powerless to stop the relentless slaughter of well-being," battles deceit and hypocrisy within the Creative Industrial Complex. Unlike anything else, The Creative Writers is a commedia dell'arte performance wrapped in a comic book. Written in lavish, exquisite prose, it is misanthropic, hallucinatory, and side-splittingly funny. A Norman Mailer or a Anthony Burgess would love this novel. Others may find it not at all nice.
