Waiting for Columbus

Plucked from the Strait of Gibraltar by the Spanish Coastguard, the man who believes he is Columbus and has been mostly incoherent for nine months begins to unravel the ?true? story of how Columbus got his ships. Can be compared to The Time Traveller's Wife and The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. Thomas Trofimuk is a writer, editor, and journalism instructor based in Edmonton. His first novel, The 52nd Poem, was published in 2002 and won the Georges Bugnet Award for Best First Novel.
