What Happened Later: A Novel

...a highly pleasing synthesis of characters, places and times that are ultimately entwined on the levels of spirit, poetry and self-exploration....Best of all, the congenital empty ache in the heart that makes writers writers is well captured in this marvellously schizophrenic novel, which, like all good novels, lingers in the mind long after it's been put down. The Globe and Mail

Robertson's writing...is excellent. His phrasing is often striking...a great tactical sense of drama and humour....At the heart of Robertson's book, for all its kinetics and anger and clowning, is an intensely moving insight: one man's sad end can be another man's beginning. Books in Canada

...a transfixing, brave and ultimately moving work....What Happened Later is an accomplished, compelling work that rings true in every sense of the word, with sharp characterization and acute insight. National Post

...a tour de force. The Chronicle Herald
