ROHMER, Richard H.

ROHMER, Richard H.
(1924-)
   Canadian writer whose novels almost invariably express a sense of fragile PARANOIA about the political and economic prospects for his native land, thinly stretched as it is along the US border. Ultimatum (1973) and its sequel, Exxoneration (1974), deal directly with Canadian-USconflicts in a NEAR FUTURE frame. Exodus/UK (1975) and its sequel, Separation (1976; rev vt Separation Two 1981), turn inward to express asimilar paranoia about separatism. Singletons that deal worriedly with similar material include Balls! (1979), Periscope Red (1980), Triad (1981), Retaliation (1982) and Starmageddon (1986).
