The Inverted Pyramid
Fiction. Bertrand W. Sinclair's THE INVERTED PYRAMID, a best-seller when it was first published in 1924, appears now for the first time in a new edition. Writing in the period from 1908 onwards, Sinclair published over fifteen novels, some of which sold in the hundreds of thousands. In THE INVERTED PYRAMID, which critics often cite as his most ambitious novel, he explores Canada's drift during WWI from a world of production to one based on finance, with all the attendant problems we are still enduring today. The novel offers a colorful account of British Columbia during this time through the history of two brothers--Rod and Grove Norquay--who belong to an old BC family. Grove, the older brother, takes the family's assets and invests them in finance--with disastrous consequences.
