Jarvis Warwick - Waste No Tears
News Stand Library 27A, 1950
Cover Artist: Sid Dyke
"The Novel about the Abortion Racket."
Jarvis Warwick was a pseudonym of Hugh Garner
Hugh Garner's second novel, Waste No Tears hit drug store and train station spinner racks in July of 1950.
Ignored by some critics, dismissed by others, this 'Novel about the Abortion Racket' is the stuff of legend. Garner claimed that it had been written in ten days as part of a struggle to ward off 'incipient starvation.' He was paid $400 for his efforts. Dark and disturbing, Waste No Tears is populated by skid row bums, loose women, tight men, shady doctors and one wanton landlady, all moving about a Toronto that is far less than respectable.
First published under the pseudonym 'Jarvis Warwick' - from Toronto's Jarvis Street Warwick Hotel, a favourite watering hole of the author - a Ricochet Books edition coincides with the celebration of the Garner centenary.
