Description
xLong Change examines the high-stakes world of oil through the life and loves of one man. Fleeing his violent, Pentecostal father, as well as a crime of his own, fifteen-year-old Ritt Devlin leaves Texas in the early 1950s, heads north, and soon finds work on an oil rig on the outskirts of Medicine Hat. By his early twenties, he's the head of his own oil company.
Spanning almost seventy years, Long Change examines the high-stakes world of oil through the life and loves of one man, following the geology and politics of the industry from Texas to the Canadian oil patch, to Africa, Asia, and the Arctic, from idealism and avarice to violence and delusion.
Already one of Canada's most accomplished journalists, author Don Gillmor brings us an intimate, unforgettable story of industry and humanity.

By Don Gillmor
xDON GILLMOR is the author of the bestselling, award-winning two-volume Canada: A People's History, and two other books of non-fiction. His debut novel, Kanata, was published to critical acclaim, and his second novel, Mount Pleasant, published in 2013, was a national bestseller. Another groundbreaker for Gillmor, it was described by the Toronto Star as "a near-perfect satire of the faltering lives of Toronto's no-longer-young yuppies. Funny to the point it hurts, because it's all so true." Gillmor has also written nine books for children, two of which were nominated for a Governor General's Literary Award, and he is one of Canada's most accomplished journalists. He lives in Toronto with his wife and two children. The author lives in Toronto, ON.
