Winner of Georgian Bay Reads 2025Profound, perceptive, and wryly observed, Estates Large and Smallis the story of one mans reckoning and an ardent defense of the shape books make in a life.What decades of rent increases and declining readership couldnt do, a pandemic finally did Phil Cooper has reluctantly closed his secondhand bookstore and moved his business online. Smoking too much pot and listening to too much Grateful Dead, he suspects that hes overdue when it comes to understanding the bigger picture of who he is and what were all doing here. So hes made another decision to teach himself 2,500 years of Western philosophy.Thankfully, he meets Caroline, a fellow book lover who agrees to join him on his trek through the best of whats been thought and said. But Caroline is on her own path, one that compels Phil to rethink what it means to be alive in the twentyfirst century. In Estates Large and Small Ray Robertson renders one mans reckoning with both wry humour and tender joy, reminding us of what it means to live, love, and, when the time comes, say goodbye.
