First published in 1980 to high acclaim, Burning Water won a Governor General's Award for fiction that year. A rollicking chronicle of Captain Vancouver's search for the Northwest Passage, the book has over its career been mentioned in recommended lists of postmodern fiction, BC historical fiction, gay fiction and humour. This gives you some idea of the scope of what has been called Bowering's best novel. "I have sometimes said, kidding but not really kidding," writes its author, "that I attended to the spirit of the west coast, and told the story about the rivals for our land as an instance in which the commanders decided to make love, not war." As an accurate account of Vancouver's exploration of our coastline, Burning Water conveys the exact length  99 feet  of the explorer's ship, and contains citations from his journals. As a work of fanciful fiction, things usually thought to be impossible transpire, without compromising the realism of the text. Bowering recalls that his free hand with history particularly incensed the founder of the National Archives, who had written a biography of George Vancouver and complained in print that Burning Water differed too much from other, similar books in its field.

A deadly virus is ravaging the world's population, killing millions of men. But some are mysteriously immune - gay men and women seem unaffected. As society crumbles, one young journalist races to uncover the truth behind the virus's origins and spread. Jasper Green was just looking for his next big story in China when he stumbled upon patient zero - an African boy who had escaped from a secret research facility in North Korea. Now Jasper finds himself at the epicenter of a global pandemic that threatens to wipe out most of humanity. As he struggles to stay alive and report on the unfolding catastrophe, Jasper makes a shocking discovery about who is vulnerable to the virus and why. The implications could reshape human society forever - if civilization can survive. This gripping medical thriller explores themes of sexuality, gender roles, and how society might change in the aftermath of a devastating plague. With pulse-pounding suspense and thought-provoking ideas, The Burning Water imagines a world forever altered by a virus that discriminates based on sexual orientation. An electrifying read that feels all too plausible in our post-COVID world.
