Description
Travels by Night, long a national bestseller, is George Fetherling's account of surmounting every obstacle as a despised minority to become a fixture in Canadian culture. A book with a broad cast of characters ranging from Margaret Atwood to John Lennon to Marshall McLuhan--and dozens more. "Everything a memoir should be--revealing, witty, erudite, beautifully written." Globe and Mail"A work of literature...and a valuable work of history as well." Robert Fulford
