A comedy memoir tinged with sadness. Aching for love and fame in 1970s Regina, a lost teen stumbles through dead-end jobs, drunken car crashes, and disco. He finally achieves happiness in the 1980s as a funny film-maker, writer, actor -- crashing in 1989 with a devastating loss.
"Then I'll be Famous" is Loblaw's second book of funny and sad memoirs of growing up in Regina. His first, "David G Grade 3," was nominated for the First Book Award at the 2019 Sask Book Awards and was produced as a hit theatre production at that year's Fringe Festival.
