“John Gormley is one of this country’s most effective and engaging communicators. I feel fortunate to be able to call him my fellow Canadian broadcaster; his words are must reading.”
– Charles Adler, CJOB Radio
He’s outspoken. He rants. And you’ve been hearing him on the radio for years — John Gormley! But do you really know him? Reading The Gormley Papers: I’m Right and You Know It, you may be surprised to discover that this popular radio personality has a life and passions well beyond politics.
Gormley’s follow-up to his Canadian bestseller Left Out is a compilation of various reflections on life, perspectives and opinions based on his Leader Post and Star Phoenix newspaper columns from the last decade. With personalized margin notes, mini rants, and a few “I-told-you-so’s” John’s essays touch on the major events that have shaped public consciousness and the milestones that make a life worth living. This collection of thoughts includes some politics and a wide array of modern issues.
And there’s no doubt where he stands. Gormley discusses the events that take us from the changed world of 9-11 to the culture of protest, juggling modern life between family and technology, refusing to age gracefully and the landscapes – personal and political – that fall in between. With a blend of humour and gravity, Gormley examines the first decade of our new century and contemplates where we are headed. And if you aren’t sure he’s right, just ask him! And you may have to agree to disagree.
