Silver
Silver was acclaimed as a notable post-modern Tarzan in Spanish reviews. And, in French reviews, Pablo Urbanyi has been compared to Julian Barnes and Tom Sharpe. The novel is inspired by a short story by Franz Kafka A report for an Academy in which an ape captured for a circus learns to speak, write, and deal with civilization.La Prensa has characterized Silver as a ...vitriolic parody... a somber and anguished commentary...on modern society...its morals...its pseudo-scientific ambitions, and concluded that Urbanyi is ...an eminent Argentinian writer.Silver is the story of a young albino gorilla who is bought in a market in Gabon by an American anthropologist and his British wife. This gorilla is then taken back to California to be raised in the enriched environment of their home and used as a research subject. But Silver is a gorilla in appearance only, having a human mind and leading a human lifestyle, inspiring in others both love and appreciation for his exoticism, and xenophobic hatred.Wit, humour, surrealism, exaggeration, anguish, social commentary...this is the world of Pablo Urbanyi.

The Robbie Burns Revival & Other Stories
These linked short stories tell the tales of Tony Aardehuis, a young Ontario police officer who centres more on the human puzzle than on crime and detection. Fraud, theft, blackmail: every small town crime short of murder drives these stories to conclusions that usually warm the heart. Along the way Tony struggles, like the rest of us, to figure it all out. The first Tony Aardehuis story was inspired by the Eastern Ontario ice storm of 1998 and the suggestion that natural disaster might double as a murder weapon. This constable meets life with a fine blend of curiosity, compassion and an occasional bent for bending the rules. Tony Aardehuis's adventures have been published in The Grist Mill, Bone Dance, and Storyteller Magazine, where he twice won The Great Canadian Story Contest. One story is also shortlisted for a 2003 Arthur Ellis Award.
