Drawn from the celebrated column in \u003ci\u003eMaisonneuve \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, this anthology features writers documenting a quintessential part of local life. Narrated with the intimacy of journal entries, each letter bridges the playful and profound. In early dispatches, Melissa Bull ditches a boyfriend over petanque in Parc Laurier; Sean Michaels watches Arcade Fire lose Battle of the Bands; Deborah Ostrovsky frets over the sublime sophistication of the Plateau's French children. More recently, Ziya Jones spends a summer herding sheep through Parc du Pelican; Eva Crocker performs in a \"fake orgasm choir\" at the Rialto Theatre; and Andre Picard takes a pause from the pandemic by running up Mount Royal. Edited by\u003ci\u003e Maisonneuve\u003c\/i\u003e editor in chief Madi Haslam, these letters buzz with a sense of possibility, surprise, and transformation. They remind us that a city can't quite be defined, that every person inside it interprets it anew. Together, they explore how we make meaning in the place we call home-how our surroundings shape us, and how we shape them in return.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46830033731742,"sku":"ADS-9781550656084","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781550656084.jpg?v=1778558535","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781550656084","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
