- Still Life With June is the second novel by Canadian author Darren Greer, first published in 2004. It tells the story of an unsuccessful writer, Cameron Dodds, who works at a Salvation Army drug and alcohol treatment centre in an unnamed North American city and 'mines" the lives of patients there for his stories. When a client at the centre hangs himself, Dodds assumes his identity and begins visiting the dead man's mentally challenged sister June in a state-run care facility. Told in an atypical style, employing e-mails, positional statements, essays and short stories-within-a-novel amid short concise chapters, the novel was a critical success in Canada and the United States. It was a finalist for several literary prizes, including the Ferro-Grumley Award in the U. S., and won the ReLit Award in the novel category for 2004. It was optioned for film in 2006 by Amaze Films and Television. (en)
