Albatross is the seventh novel by Canadian author Terry Fallis. It was published in August 2019. It earned a place on The Globe and Mail's bestseller list a week after publication.

Plot

Hero Adam Coryell unexpectedly finds himself to be a golf prodigy. Unfortunately he wants to be a writer, and he hates golf.

Reviews

The Globe and Mail's review asserted "This novel has a fable-like quality and philosophical depths that Fallis plumbs with a deceptive subtlety – you’ll come for the story about an athletic whiz kid, and leave contemplating where true happiness really lies, both in Adam’s life and your own.".
