Can any of us really save another person? Or is each of us solely responsible for his or her own life? That's the question lurking behind Alix Ohlin's astute novel, which follows three separate characters: Grace, a therapist who's consulting with a disturbed teenage girl; Mitch, also a therapist, who moves all the way to the Arctic trying to rescue a young Inuit who's lost his whole family; and Anne, a struggling actress, who lets a pregnant runaway move into her apartment—and take over.

What happens inside, behind closed doors, in private moments, and in minds and hearts: that's the stuff of Alix Ohlin's novel.

"'He wouldn’t let me in,' she said, 'and I refused to stay out.'"

Mitch's mother says that of his father. She is not a character with whom readers spend a lot of time, but her statement resonates throughout Inside.

The characters with whom readers do spend time?

First, Grace, who is a therapist in Montreal, when readers meet her in 1996.

Next, Anne, to whom readers are introd...more

I really enjoyed Inside because of the way this novel peels away at the layers of human feeling, motives, personal histories, backgrounds and tendencies which make up the complexity of being.

Also, I liked the structure of the novel, bouncing between locations, points in time, and characters which were gradually more and more interwoven in their interactions, and the reader's understanding of their actions and complexities, their differences, and their heartaches.

3.5 stars. Understated yet enjoyable book with very real characters, but no strong plot.

I liked the way this book was written. I don’t remember the author going into much detail describing the characters, but I found it very easy to imagine these characters as real people to the point where halfway through the book, I re-realized that this book was fiction. Ohlin creates these characters by describing what happens to them and it’s these collective experiences that eventually comprise a complete...more

This book is exactly why literature exceeds all forms of culture and communications as a means of dealing with the human condition. Ohlin takes a idealized element of our society - therapists - shows us not only the complex individuals that they are, but also the people they have tried to heal once they have left their care. And not always with a 'happy ending.'

"Inside" is another of four novels nominated for Canada's major fiction award, the 2012 Giller Prize. "419" which I reviewed recently is very much a plot-driven book, while "Ru" which I have also reviewed is a memoir in novel form that is almost a lyrical poem in its magnificent language and interwoven, layered style.

"419" which I reviewed recently is very much a plot-driven book, while "Ru" which I have also reviewed is a memoir in novel form that is almost a lyrical poem in its magnificent language and interwoven, layered style. In contrast to both these books, "Inside" is much more driven by the depth and self-analysis of its characters. There is perhaps an over-arching theme -- best stated in a perspective from Mitch, the self-perceived failure who flails his way through the novel's dozen years: "Witnessing the pain of others," he feels, "is the very least you can do in this world. It's how you know that when your own turn comes, someone will be there with you."

But helping others by doing this is a perilous course. Grace, who cannot stop herself from trying to save Tug, the man she inadvertently saves from his suicide attempt, sees her career as a therapist shattered by the shocks this relationship brings to her life. Anne, the egotistical actress who looks ready to break into Hollywood stardom, helps a homeless runaway girl who ends up undercutting Anne's image and squeezing away her income. And Mitch, drawn to help an autistic child, finds his emotions broken by mistakes into which he is drawn. Yet even this peril may not be what really counts, for all those who suffer for their efforts to do good, nevertheless find forms of reconciliation that also affect them. The maturing and growth of character traced throughout this excellent novel help explain how such changes can and do happen.

Alix Ohlin has been criticized, in a vicious NY Times review, for her choice of language -- too much use of "weird" was one part of the charge. So I was sensitive to Ohlin's writing style -- and found the images and metaphors this author uses to be fresh and sharp throughout her book. But what matters most about this book is the depth of character shaped and probed, ranging across genders and generations, with rare sensitivity and insight. This is an excellent novel. Unlike "419" none of the circumstances set out ring other than absolutely authentic. And the writing is very good. That's why this book has been nominated not just for the Giller, but also for one of the other Canadian fiction prizes for this year.

A footnote: in tribute to her grade two teacher, who was a creative inspiration to Ohlin, the author has named several characters after "Grace Tugwell" of Montreal. Grace, who died recently, was one of the closest friends of my wife's sister. She was not only a fine teacher, but a wonderful artist.(less)

I believe the beautiful, and brilliant book jacket photo shows you the whole story. A delicate, monochromatic grey reflection. A snowball, entrapping safely its bits of "cold snow". The characters are mostly reaching out to others to be of real help; or are they trying to test their own limitations. In some cases the efforts are almost certainly doomed; in others the character may not be strong enough to persist with seeing thing through to the end. They are all striving to be INSIDE their own l...more

In one chilling, breathless moment, Grace comes upon an unconscious man off the side of the trail down which she’s skiing on a mountain in Montreal. A fallen skier? An unplanned detour? Unexpected injury? No, it’s none of these. It becomes apparent quite quickly that John “Tug” Tugwell has just attempted suicide, and Grace is the first to come across the scene. Saving a man’s life, however, is not enough when you’re a therapist. Grace is compelled to follow up with Tug. She accompanies the ambulance to the hospital, is there when he wakes, and before long, she’s helping him home. From here on out, we the readers are swept along for the ride.

Next, we meet Annie, one of Grace’s troubled patients, a young woman who is anything but patient with the theory of psychology. Annie is everything you don’t wish for in a teenager: petulant, rebellious, caustic with her words and manipulative with her manner. Oddly, however, she is not likely who you will dislike the most. Enter Mitch, Grace’s ex-husband, also an essential player in the story. Mitch is also a therapist, and comes back into Grace’s life in the most unexpected way.

Ohlin strings together the lives of these four richly developed characters with such clarity and sharpness of writing. As the readers, we begin to sympathize, but the characters themselves never become precious; they are too human for that. All over the globe from Canada to New York, Rwanda to Hollywood, the subjects of Ohlin’s novel orbit around one another, making disastrous decisions – yet evoking no sense of hopelessness or pity in us. Instead, Ohlin keeps such a strong hold on her language, remaining meticulously generous in a way that allows her characters to grow from the foundation she has set for them. We can easily imagine that Ohlin simply penned the outline of the story and then set the characters free upon the page to play out the story as humanly possible as they could.

Ultimately, Inside is a story of relationships: those we cherish, those we cling to desperately, those we push away and those we let slip away. Ohlin’s Grace, Tug, Annie and Mitch are the perfect foursome to tell this story.

I love all of Alix Ohlin’s writing—from her first collection of stories, Babylon and Other Stories, to her first novel, The Missing Person. But Inside is my favorite work of hers to date.

Inside is aptly titled given that Ohlin has a preternatural ability to penetrate her characters’ minds and hearts. This, even more than Ohlin’s gorgeous prose and carefully crafted plot, is the reason to read Inside. As Ohlin maps out the lives of her disparate characters—from an up-and-coming actress in New Yo...more

This book has been shortlisted for the Giller Prize and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize.

There are three interconnected story strands: that of Grace, a well-meaning but rather inept therapist in Montreal; that of Annie, a young client of Grace’s who yearns to be an actress; and that of Mitch, Grace’s ex-husband who is also a therapist.

There are three interconnected story strands: that of Grace, a well-meaning but rather inept therapist in Montreal; that of Annie, a young client of Grace’s who yearns to be an actress; and that of Mitch, Grace’s ex-husband who is also a therapist. There is not a linear plot: chapters move among the various characters and cover about a decade, although not chronologically.

I had difficulty keeping track of the characters, especially when a character might not be encountered for several chapters and then might be found in an earlier time period. I think I should have made notes to help me remember a character and his/her circumstances when he/she was next encountered. Admittedly, this may be more a factor of my middle age rather than a failing of the author.

All of the characters are deeply flawed. They all try to understand others, to get “inside” their heads, because, as Grace notes, “There is a difference between the facts of a person and the truth of him.” They all allow others “inside” their lives and try to help them. Some are motivated to travel far from home, to Rwanda and Nunavut, to help others. However, Grace, Annie and Mitch are selfish and rather pathetic, so it is not difficult to predict that their attempts to help will not always meet with success. Grace realizes that “your actions radiated out to change not just your own life, but those of the people around you.” Sometimes everyone suffers because of the efforts of someone trying to be helpful.

What the characters often seem to lack is self-knowledge; they don’t always spend sufficient time getting “inside” their own heads to examine their motivations. The reader is taken into the hearts and minds of Grace, Annie, and Mitch, but the three of them frequently are not fully aware of their own feelings and thinking processes. Of course, that’s what makes them totally human characters.

This is a good book, but I’m not convinced that it is worthy of the prizes for which it has been nominated.

I liked it - a quick glimpse into the lives of others. If you are looking for a fun action filled book, this isn’t it.

This is a study of emotions, a look at depression; it explores the cost of hurting and helping someone else and the strength of human spirit. The characters felt both real and cliche, which I know sounds odd but that is how it felt to me.

Alix Ohlin's Inside has a lot of characteristics that I typically do not like in a book: her characters are both contrived and clichés, two of them being therapists out to help everyone they meet with their problems, another two being troubled teenagers, and another being a man damaged by the horrors he faced doing international aid work.

The story has a cast of some deeply flawed and damaged characters, it took a while to get into it, but some of their lives and how they got to where they were, was interesting to me. Captivating even, as they author brings to the surface some of the harsh realities the characters have faced, and how they choose to handle the decisions they made. This is a book that has a lot more to it than what you initially read, you almost have to dig deep to uncover everything that is contained in the book. I enjoyed Annie's story the most particularly how it ended, I think some readers wouldn't be happy with how hers ended, but I felt it very fitting. I think it's safe to say she was one of my favourite characters. I also enjoyed some aspects of Mitch's story line. He is a complex character, and he has a lot of issues, but I enjoyed some of his background, especially his time in Nunavut.

One of my main issues with the book were some of its characters, mainly Grace. I just couldn't stand her. I hated when the story was centralized around her. I was rather disgusted with how she was involved with Tug. It really bothered me, and I can't say for sure why. I didn't think she was a good psychiatrist, involving herself with Tug is part of the reason why. I had no sympathy for this character, and have some very strong feelings against her, and I can't pinpoint the exact reasons why. Her flaws, her inside turmoil, just didn't mesh for me. Compared to the other characters who all had demons, and troubled lives, as they tried to find themselves, she just didn't work for me.

One other issue I had with the book was how it was written. As it jumped around in time and setting, I found that it was hard to keep track of all the elements, especially the characters in the book, especially when they made appearances in other chapters (each chapter focused on a different character). For me the formatting of the book was more like a set of interconnected/inter-related stories, rather than a novel.

Overall the book turned out to be a good read, it's not one I loved, and it's not one I'd personally pick to win the 2012 Giller prize, but I do think it's going to be a contender, as it was a book that had a lot of hidden depth to its characters and overall storyline and one that would appeal to a lot of readers.

The writing is really fine, and the characters are interesting, but I'm not sure that the idea of a story that loosely connects through various kinds of meetings really worked in this. It felt a bit like the author identified with the main character of the psychologist/therapist - a bit distant, overarching, curious but not too involved and in the end, not someone I related much to.

If I could boil the complex narrative to one sentence, it would be a story of people damaged on the inside by what they have seen or done. Yet that doesn't really come close to capturing the many layers at work here. The story begins with Grace, a psychiatrist in Montreal, as she stumbles across an attempted suicide while skiing. The narrative thread proceeds to fold in a past lover and a former patient, who both bring their own experiences to bear on the overarching theme.

I got this one from the 2012 Canadian Giller Prize shortlist - and it’s a belter.

It’s a smart, convincing, time-lapsing tale of family and relationships, as good as any Jonathan Franzen – with a small cast of very well drawn, nuanced characters held together by connections that at no point felt too ‘concept’.

At heart, it’s about the vain efforts we make to help and understand the unknown that is the other person (the ‘inside’, I guess). There’s plenty of bleakness, but it’s ultimately pretty o...more
