Insight and intelligence focused on diverse events set Patricia Boyer's weekly newspaper columns apart from commonplace criticism. This selection of ninety of her best final columns reals the meaning of optimistic realism in everyday life.
"Patricia Boyer reminds us what writing and journalism is supposed to be about."
PAMELA WALLIN, broadcaster, author, senator, Ottawa
"Freedom of the press means in fact the freedom to be morally responsible to the public. Patricia Boyer fulfilled this condition with the grace, concern, intelligence and wit of a dedicated an perceptive writer. Her thoughts are timely, local and yet universal, a dialectic between the real and the ideal with a commitment to a progress which entails a constructive understanding of the past and an appreciation of humanitarian values."
SYLVIA DUVERNET, literature professor, author, Toronto |
