On Wednesday, March 20th, members of the Ontario Book Publishers Organization gathered at Queen's Park for Lobby Day. After afternoon meetings, publishers and politicians gathered for food, drink and conversation, and to peruse some fine Ontario-published books.

Celebrating 100 years of Robertson Davies

By Ashliegh Gehl

Robertson Davies was a masterful two-finger typist. Poised in front of a manual typewriter, with his forefingers outstretched, Davies would punch the keys. It was a sight his daughter Jennifer Surridge was privy to as she watched him churn out trilogy after trilogy. Davies died in 1995 and despite a lifetime of typing, he never learned how to flush the breadth of both hands over the keys. He was all thumbs when it came to the mechanics of the machine. “He couldn’t change the ribbons,” said Surridge.
