Show Notes

Author/Journalist Shawn Micallef talks about moving from Windsor to Toronto in 2000, co-founding Spacing Magazine, morphing from writing for Eye Weekly to the Toronto Star, using psychogeography as the backbone of his first book STROLL, the immense ongoing changes in Toronto that led to his recently revising that book, his thoughts on Toronto Star colleague Edward Keenan/urbanist Richard Florida/Mayor Olivia Chow, and why he believes Toronto is like an infinite onion whose layers simply need to be peeled back!  

Shawn’s newly revised version of Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto is published by Coach House Books and available at https://chbooks.com/Books/S/Stroll-updated-edition

Shawn will be appearing live as part of the Toronto International Festival of Authors [TIFA] on September 26 at ‘The Heart of the City: Celebrating Toronto’...full details are at https://festivalofauthors.ca/event/the-heart-of-the-city/
