A native Anglo-Quebecer, Keith Henderson has published six novels with DC Books, The Restoration, The Beekeeper, The Roof Walkers, Acqua Sacra (translated into Italian and German), Sasquatch and the Green Sash, and the novella Mont Babel, political essays from when he was Quebec correspondent for the Financial Post (Staying Canadian), as well as a prize-winning book of short stories (The Pagan Nuptials of Julia). He led the Equality Party during the separatist referendum of 1995, taught Canadian Literature at Vanier for many years, served on many Anglo-Quebec boards including ELAN and the AELAQ, and is currently President of The Special Committee for Canadian Unity.
Overflow focusses on the connection between literary work and personal experience, both the author's own and that of American novelist, Edith Wharton, an affinity for whom Henderson readily admits. Themes of alienation and expatriation loom large, of personal origin in Wharton's case, who spent much of her professional life in France, political in Henderson's, who offers a lament for his one and only country - Canada.
