Condizione: Very Good. A tight, clean, and unmarked copy (part of the end page was removed)-" SUB-TITLE: A Life. And Then Some. DESIGN BY: Don Fernley. COVER DRAWING USED BY: Permission of the David Annesley Estate. PHOTO: John Leung. CONTENTS: Acknowledgments 1 How Did He Get That Way? 2 Growing Up 3 Star Days 4 Footloose Repor…ter 5 "The Bird You Think I Am" 6 Aimee 7 The Time He Was Really Fired 8 Sinclair a Sports-Writer? 9 So How Were Things at Home? 10 "I Told Them I Couldn't Do News" 11 On the Road Again 12 Attacking the Stuffed Shirts 13 The Last Real Shooting Star 14 "Yes, My Age Bothers Me" 15 the Other Side of the Mountain 16 The Last Three Years 17 The End; Index. SYNOPSIS: Gordon Sinclair was a journalist and broadcaster known to three generations of Canadians. People either loved him or hated him--or loved to hate him--but no one ignored him. Now, Scott Young, a well-known writer and broadcaster himself, has written the first full biography of a colorful personality, the absolute antithesis of the so-called "quiet Canadian". Gordon Sinclair: A Life and Then Some traces Gordon's life from his school days in east Toronto through his first clerking jobs in the old Bank of Toronto and Eaton's, his early reporting during the 1920s, and his globe-trotting days during the 1930s and '40s, to his fame as the media spokesman for all those who hated authority. Gordon's natural skills as a storyteller became evident soon after he got a job as a cub reporter at the Toronto Star. But his first big break came when he spent a week "riding the rails" with hobos from southern Ontario to New York state. His stories, full of insight and adventure, seemed to contain just the details that readers wanted to know. Sinclair spent many years traveling and reporting to the Star from around the globe. He wrote books on travel and adventure that sold to wide acclaim and won outstanding reviews. But it was only natural that Sinclair, always ready for a challenge, should snatch the opportunity to leave print and enter the broadcast media when the chance arose. Beginning in 1944, his newscasts and Let's Be Personal commentary on Toronto's CFRB reached unprecedented audiences. And from his "resident curmudgeon" spot on TV's long-running Front-Page Challenge, Sinclair reached an eager, nationwide audience. A Life. is more than just work. Scott Young, assisted by full and sometimes startling revelations by the Sinclair family, describes Sinclair as the private man, who suffered frequent bouts of depression; and Sinclair the free-thinker, who had several affairs, including one that lasted from 1939 until his death, and a brief fling with evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson. Yet, despite his sometimes selfish and often cantankerous ways, Sinclair was a man whom people loved because he spoke--straight from the shoulder. Scott Young has successfully pursued careers as a writer, broadcaster, and journalist. He won his first National Newspaper Award in 1959, which was followed by other national and international awards. At the same time, he was writing short stories and novels, three of which were translated into Russian. Altogether, Young has written over 35 books. In 1984, he published Neil and Me, the biography of his son, one of Canada's most famous rock musicians. His biography of Foster Hewitt entitled Hello Canada! (1985) was welcomed by Canadians from coast to coast. Mr. Young and his wife, writer, and editor Margaret Hogan, live on an acreage north of Toronto, where they are often visited by the sons and daughters of their extended and extensive family. Scott Young has shown an uncanny ability to write about the people that matter to ordinary Canadians. By writing about our own home-grown heroes and spokespersons, Young himself has become something of a spokesman for Canadians. His book on Gordon Sinclair is a major contribution to his continuing role as a chronicler of Canadian popular culture. " Size: 8vo - over 7þ" - 9þ" tall.
