You might call Nathan Whitlock’s sense of humour the gallows kind: he readily locates the brutal and exposes its ridiculous underside.
Winnipeg Review, for Congratulations On Everything
Parenthood, money, marriage, illness—everyday mini-tragedies morph into snort-worthy comedy when put under Nathan Whitlock’s microscope. Lump drives in shivs of self-recognition on every page, along with lines you’ll want to share with the stranger sitting next to you on the subway
Andrew Pyper, author of The Residence and The Demonologist
Lump is both a page-turner and a disquieting and complex take on marriage, illness, and privilege. Whitlock is wry, smart, and never boring.

Parenthood, money, marriage, illness — everyday mini-tragedies morph into snort-worthy comedy when put under Nathan Whitlock’s microscope. Lump drives in shivs of self-recognition on every page, along with lines you’ll want to share with the stranger sitting next to you on the subway.
Andrew Pyper, author of The Residence
In Lump, things fall completely, often hilariously, apart for a seemingly perfect Toronto family. With a keen eye and plenty of verve and humour, Nathan Whitlock peels back the facades of a cast of urbanites to reveal messy truths, ugly appetites, and highly questionable decision-making.
Elyse Friedman, author of The Opportunist
Lump is a dark exploration of marriage, parenthood, illness — and how trying to control the uncontrollable can lead to even more destruction. Whitlock’s approachable writing style makes this heavy story a breeze to read.
Rachel Matlow, author of Dead Mom Walking
An unflinching look at the limits of denial, Whitlock’s latest will have you laughing and gasping in equal measure. I couldn’t put it down.
