Visiting Goa, Buday meets the Rodrigues family, people who inhabit a two-hundred-year-old house full of history and rats. (Goa was once the jewel in the crown of the Portuguese Empire, and the saying went that he who had seen Goa need not see Lisbon.) Throughout his journeys Buday encounters those who wish the Portuguese would come back — and those who are very glad they’re gone. A comic, vivid, and moving story, \u003ccite\u003eGolden Goa\u003c\/cite\u003e takes you from Darjeeling in the east, to Jaisalmer in the west, to Cochin in the south. It explores Mother Teresa’s Calcutta, the Dalai Lama’s Dharamsala, and the Poona of Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh. Along the way, Buday is train wrecked, rat bit, badgered, and ripped off.

To walk its streets is to sense a mood -- sometimes warm, sometimes anxious, depending upon the political climate -- but always invigorating and vital. The Québécois culture offers a striking contrast to that of the rest of North America. Montreal is far more European, epicurean, and stylish than most -- or perhaps any -- other North American cities. This book will offer you a glimpse into the lives and attitudes of Montrealers, the beauty and rough charm of the city, and the rich historical legacy that informs its everyday life -- a daily life of stimulating sights, sounds, tastes, events, and people.

This memoir shares stories of working — and playing — alongside writers such as Robertson Davies, Mavis Gallant, Brian Mulroney, Val Ross, and W. O. Mitchell. Gibson reveals the projects he brainstormed for Barry Broadfoot, how he convinced future Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro to keep writing short stories, his early-morning phone call from a former prime minister,  and his recollection of yanking a manuscript right out of Alistair MacLeod’s reluctant hands — which ultimately garnered the author one of the world’s most prestigious prizes for fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsightful and entertaining, this collection of tales goes behind the scenes and between the covers to divulge a treasure trove of literary adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCheck availability at your local Canadian independent bookstore:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"tbm_shop_local\" data-options=\"{\n 'api_key' : '5XHiEK69GWj88UM4tjoZ9DkEoo9MFauV',\n 'product_code' : '9781770410688',\n 'distance_km' : '100',\n 'label' : 'Shop Local',\n 'request_location' : 'true',\n 'image' : 'https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Shop_Local_Button.png'\n }\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cscript src=\"https:\/\/bookmanager.com\/public\/api\/tbm-shop-local.js\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;padding-top: 10px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eRemember that most stores can easily order books they don’t currently have in stock.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDouglas Gibson\u003c\/b\u003e worked as an editor and publisher from 1968 until he retired from McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart in 2009.
