On Sports - David Macfarlane

David Macfarlane's family memoir, The Danger Tree, was described by Christopher Hitchens as one of the finest and most intriguing miniature elegies that I have read in many a year. Macfarlane's novel, Summer Gone, was short-listed for the Giller Prize. Based on The Danger Tree, The Door You Came In, a two-man show (co-written and performed with Douglas Cameron) has been produced, to acclaim, from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Stratford, Ontario. Macfarlane lives in Toronto with his wife, the designer, Janice Lindsay.
