"Will McClelland is a wonderful and innovative literary voice, hilarious and wise. The Minted is a demented and delightful read."
-John K. Samson

“In the annals of dystopic literature, you've never read anything like the world of McClelland's characters – a terrifying, plausible future that takes every trope of Canadiana and turns it inside out. The Minted is a Heritage Moment directed by David Cronenberg, a Hinterland Who's Who penned by an unholy trio of Mary Shelley, Atwood at her most sci-fi, and Leonard Cohen at his darkest.”
— Anna Leventhal, author of Sweet Affliction

“The Minted will undoubtedly become a Canadian cult classic not only for reflecting our environmental anxiety at the beginning of this rapidly-warming century, but also due to its obsessive and encyclopaedic nature vis-a-vis Canadian imagery and wildlife.”
— Geoff Berner, author of Festival Man
