coffeed yesterday with
Sherraine MacKay, Canada's top women's epee fencer and first Canadian World Championship medalist. MacKay's new book,
Running With Swords, is a marvelous, hilarious memoir of her journey through the fencing world. MacKay is not only a talented athlete but a born writer. We talk of swordplay, her novel-in-progress, living a pauper's life in a Paris garret and her current life in Budapest. Here is her
site.
also had a long talk with
Richard Cannings, author of
The Rockies: A Natural History. Published by Greystone Books and the David Suzuki Foundation,
The Rockies is one of the few books looking at the range in its entirety - from northern BC to Mexico. Sure, it's got pretty pictures but it's also a good read.
