Produktbeschreibung
From poetic odes to loves lost and found, to a clear-eyed examination of just what it takes to destroy a strong man; from the complexities that lie at the roots of a mother's love for her son to a father's sensitive understanding of the difference between his child's imagination and the lies that lie in the minds of they boy's grandparents ... Carl Dow presents a ground-breaking collection of stories that will move, amuse and even, maybe, shock readers with their subtle understanding of the human spirit. With The Old Man's Last Sauna comes a powerful voice for the 21st century, born of the turmoil, violence and struggle for justice and understanding that marked so much of the 20th.
Autorenporträt
Carl Dow was for many years a journalist with such publications as The Globe and Mail and the late Toronto Telegram and Montreal Star. As such, he received a number of recognitions, including a nomination for a National Newspaper Award. While writing for national magazines, Alan Walker, then managing editor of The Canadian, said that he was one of the top ten writers in the country. Carl has edited tabloid and broadsheet dailies and weeklies, and monthly magazines. He has written for television and radio and has been on camera and behind the microphone. As youth editor of The Montreal Star he was the first newspaper columnist in North America to praise The Beatles. Outside of journalism and publishing, he has worked as a labourer in farming and construction, sub-contractor in new-housing floor and wall tile installation, cost accountant, and truck driver. However, his all-time favourite employment was the eight years he spent as a part-time school bus driver while writing the short stories which became The Old Man's Last Sauna. and several novels (coming soon from The BumblePuppy Press). Until recently, he kept his hand in journalism as editor and publisher of True North Perspective on Second Thought. The online news magazine is currently on hiatus, but is archived at www.truenorthperspective.com. He is the proud father of two sons, Geoffrey and Thomas, in order of appearance, both of whom are writers and editors in their own right, and the delighted grandfather of two grand-daughters. He doesn't spend much time there, but you might be able to find him on Facebook. Carl Dow lives in Ottawa. He does not have a cat.
