T. F. Rigelhof reflects at CNQ on the loss of Montreal’s great bookstore Double Hook. Sigh. And there were one or two of you who asked me about piss in my cornflakes, re: my Reisman post from last week. See? See?
By giving the books of such “interplanetary strangers” a home in Westmount, where reading habits became a kind of identity, The Double Hook Canadian Books created an “oasis society” that was decent, fair and democratic in ways that no new bookstore can now afford to be. That’s a serious failure and I fell into a funk as I considered that loss while speakers came and went from Centaur’s stage.
