From the Publisher

Will Ferguson's bestselling debut novel-formerly known as Generica-is now an international publishing sensation, attracting kudos from critics and readers in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. Ferguson is well known for his non-fiction hits such as How To Be Canadian, but here he turns his hand to fiction-with hilarious results.

Edwin de Valu, an overworked editor at Panderic Press, is in trouble. The weekly editorial meeting isn't going well and he needs a hit for the upcoming fall season. In desperation he presents a previously rejected self-help manuscript, "What I Learned On The Mountain," by Tupak Soiree.

Much to Edwin's chagrin, the project is accepted, and soon becomes the number-one bestseller of all time. But can this self-help book be the real thing? Dismayed by the plague of happiness that ensues, Edwin attempts to get to the bottom of the mysteries of Tupak Soiree and the book he has unleashed on our unsuspecting world.

About the Author

Will Ferguson is the author and co-author of nine books including How to be a Canadian, which sold 25,000 copies in Canada, won the 2002 Libris Booksellers Award for Non-Fiction Book of the Year and was shortlisted for the 2002 Leacock Medal for Humour, along with Happiness. He is the first author in history to have two books shortlisted for the Leacock Medal of Humour in the same year. Happiness went on to win, and was later serialized on CBC radio and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Award: Canada & Caribbean. Will lives in Calgary with his wife and two sons.

From the Critics

""This is a little gem of a book about a very large idea. It entertains, stirs the soul and provokes some serious reflection.""
-Pamela Wallin, The Globe and Mail

""Hilarious. Ferguson takes no prisoners: [Happiness] is a caustic and outrageously funny send-up of society's foibles.""
-W.P.Kinsella, author of The Thrill of the Grass
