Description

A Doyle Reader is a lively collection of personal memories and commentaries from well-known Newfoundland writer and broadcaster Marjorie Doyle.

Musings on growing up in St. John’s and pointed commentary on Newfoundland's Confederation with Canada. Writings on the province's culture, heritage, and music. A travelogue of an English teacher abroad. Connecting them all is Doyle’s distinctive voice: patriotic, passionate, and relentlessly funny. Marjorie Doyle’s award-winning work has appeared in the Globe and Mail, St. John's Telegram, National Post, and many other newspapers, journals, and literary magazines. Her voice has been frequently heard on CBC-Radio, as commentator, guest, and longtime host of That Time of the Night. She lives in her native St. John’s.
