Spanning over two decades, Ruminations of the Third Son provides a window into the recent history of Canada. From post-WW2 Ottawa to Toronto's vibrant music scene in the 1960s, it reflects Canada's growing confidence and presence on the world stage at that time. Witty, contemplative and honest, the author's recollections will be treasured by anyone interested in the adventures and travails of a young boy learning how to 'walk on the light side' and become a man.
