Hello everyone. I end up reading and watching a lot during the making of Stephen’s People. Today I’d like to share some links to books, articles and videos that I think you’ll like. Please add your own ideas in the comments. I’ll start with an interesting collection of books by a New York writer who grew up in Montreal.
The trenchant and fascinating Gay Walley is an elegant maverick, and a true artist — film, theater, novels. Recently, she published a six volume collection of novels called Venus as She Ages that reveals a deep engagement with the world, seen from above. She’s getting older (and more beautiful), but the years only seem to enhance her creativity.

Published in 2021, How to Blow Up a Pipeline is a provocative book that seems to advocate for the usefulness off violence, and the naïveté of nonviolence, to prevent global collapse from climate change. It’s got a great cover.
