More Joy in Heaven

More Joy in Heaven is a novel written by Canadian author Morley Callaghan and published in 1937.

The central figure, Kip Caley, was inspired by Norman Ryan (1895-1936), a criminal who had committed a number of robberies in Quebec, Ontario and the United States.

Callaghan's friend Ernest Hemingway had also considered writing a novel based on Ryan's life.

As a reporter for The Toronto Daily Star, Hemingway had covered the criminal in 1925.

Other important characters in the book are Julie, Father Butler, Senator Maclean, Kip's mother, Harvey Jenkins, Judge Ford, Foley and Kerrmann.
