* JerkAss: More than a few.

* CreatorProvincialism: All his books are set, at least in part, in UsefulNotes/{{Montreal}}, where he himself was born and raised.

* JerkAss: More than a few

Several of his books have been turned into films, most recently ''[[Literature/BarneysVersion Barney's Version]]''.
