While researching an article on Literary Tourism for an upcoming issue of Ontario magazine, I got to meet and greet some stellar Canadian authors at sites across the province that feature, variously, in their works. Here, it’s Terry Fallis, and his novel The Best Laid Plans. I got together with Terry on Parliament Hill, right next to the newly refurbished parliamentary library to talk about how its ‘hallowed hallways’ informed the writing of his book; about how readers might gain insight into its characters and plot by visiting the ‘Hill’, and how these buildings play an important role in Canadian political life, stabilizing democracy and inspiring hope for a better future.
