Ha, did they have your permission to record? That’s a current issue of strong debate here at UBC.

Ah, CBC Vancouver; have done a couple of interviews there over the years, on Radio and The National.

The 15 year narrative makes me feel so much less unhappy about my own 15 year gap… and my own 15 year book nearly done. We are such slaves to the productivity myth.
