“Brian Cox’s stunning first novel gives us something that we rarely get from real life: fierce moments of desperation and emotional clarity from people who strive to understand how they’ve become who they are and confront the sudden possibility of change. All Of The Above, is a riveting read that stay with you like a view of the churning north Atlantic.” Scott Blackwood, author of See How Small & We Agreed to Meet Just Here. (Miss you Scott)

Empathy. Sensitivity. Hard-eyed authenticity. Honesty. Candor. Insight and discovery. Thanks to Brian Cox’s narrative voice, as well as to protagonist Max and his cousin Molli (the author’s tour-de-force characterization to date) this deep digging debut novel is, yes, all of the above and more,” Paul McComas, award winning author of Unplugged, Planet of the Dates and Unforgettable.

“In his debut novel, Brian Cox, explores the painful cost of coming of age. As deftly as Brian’s unforgettable characters moor readers in their windswept Nova Scotia community, they also companion the reader of a profound spiritual journey, a journey that resonates with “firsts”…first errors, first loss, first grief, first sexual desire and first love.” Emil Ferris, author and artist, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters.
