Line Breaks

"After escaping from his ultra-conservative Montreal family, George Galt found ultimate success as a poet, non-fiction writer, and editor. As much about people as it is about the written word, Line Breaks offers vivid portraits of many of the characters Galt encountered during his literary life, from Al Purdy, Margaret Atwood, and Peter Ustinov to Charles Ritchie, Jan Morris, David Frum, and Pierre Trudeau. ""Charming, astute, witty, and insightful. Line Breaks is a lovely book about books by someone who knows intimately the form, and content, of the writerly heart."" -Charles Foran, author of Mordecai and Just Once, No More"
