Description
Sexual entanglements, the libel suit of the decade, an accusation of plagiarism, and a sudden suicide layer this witty, acid-tongued journey through the Canadian media world of the 1990s.
About the author
George Galt, who grew up in Quebec, and attended schools in Montreal and the Eastern Townships, has degrees from Concordia University and the University of Toronto. He began publishing poetry in literary magazines in the 1970s, became a freelance journalist, editor, and author based in Toronto, wrote Whistlestop—chronicling four months of travel across Canada—as well as Trailing Pythagoras, an account of his half-year living in Greece, and a novel, Scribes and Scoundrels, that offers a comic look at mass media. He now lives in Victoria, B.C., where in 2022 he founded the literary press Stonehewer Books.
