SYNOPSIS: For three decades, Robert Fulford has watched the flowering of the arts in Canada from an ideal vantage point, the best seat in the house. He grew up next door to Glenn Gould, befriended Michael Snow when Fulford and Snow were both teenagers, and eventually worked alongside Pierre Berton, Peter Gzowski, Christina McCall, Nathan Cohen and Peter C. Newman. Written in the style that won nine National Magazine Awards, Fulford's frank and absorbing memoirs cover a period of startling change in Canadian life and chart a unique adventure in self-transformation: from sports writer to literary critic, from high-school dropout to Distinguished Visitor at the University of Toronto, from all-purpose hack to editor (for nineteen years) of the most admired magazine in Canada, Saturday Night. Along the way Fulford managed a jazz band, argued in public and private with Marshall McLuhan, hosted both a radio and TV show, organized a concert that featured Maureen Forrester, and published the work of Margaret Atwood (who directed him in his first--and last--stage performance, playing himself as rewritten by Atwood). When he resigned from Saturday Night in 1987 because he declined to work for the new owner, Conrad Black, the news made headlines across Canada and drew hundreds of tributes. "I was able, " Fulford writes, "to read my obituaries without the inconvenience of dying, a pleasure denied those whose careers are uniformly successful." That resignation, and the sometimes farcical events surrounding it, form the conclusion to this perceptive account of a life lived at the centre of Canadian culture. Robert Fulford is now a weekly columnist for The Financial Times of Canada and co-host of Realities on TVOntario. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada and holds honorary degrees from McMaster and York Universities and the University of Western Ontario.
