RB: You come from Toronto, and I noticed Michael Ondaatje has blurbed your book. Is there a literary mafia in Toronto?
GA: Oh, yeah. [laughs]
RB: Is he the Don Corleone of it?
GA: I don’t know. That’s a good question: Is he the Don Corleone? Well he’s too furtive and shy to be the Don Corleone.
RB: Maybe it’s his wife, Linda?
GA: Could be, could be. Yeah, she’s pretty feisty…and a good writer in her own right.

Gil needs to take down the T.O. literary mafia. Or covertly undermine them from the inside.

Gosh, I went to Banff Fine arts writing workshop with Gil and Michael Redhill. Michael you could tell would be something, he had that charisma. Gil was always in the back. Wore these birkenstocks with big fuzzy socks.
Don’t think I wanna move to Tranna, even with the literary life. Would be cool to look her up again, though.

I love the clause “in his/her own right” – such damningly faint praise!
