The final installment of the critically acclaimed memoir series Done Hunting brings Martin Hunter's memoirs to a close, sharing adventures and observations from his sixth to ninth decades. With descriptions of theatrical productions he's written and directed, it also provides a subtle commentary on Canada and its social and cultural place in the world. Done Hunting also chronicles Hunter's experiences as a magazine and radio journalist and his unsuccessful attempts to break into film and television as a scriptwriter. Accounts of his travels in Mexico, Sweden, England, France, and Italy include fascinating encounters with Laurier LaPierre, Bill Glassco, David Earle, and Adrienne Clarkson and writers Barry Callaghan, Mavis Gallant, and Gore Vidal. His friendship with Richard Monette and peripheral involvement with the Stratford Festival, as well as his work as a philanthropist as president of the K.M. Hunter Charitable Foundation, are highlights of this fascinating and insightful self-examination Front Cover -- Table of Contents -- Dedication -- Lolling in Lotus Land -- Johnny Bananas -- Movie Madness -- School For Gossips -- Nasty Surprise -- Serendipity in Sweden -- Radio Days -- Down Mexico Way -- Up and Down in London, Paris, and Toronto -- The Stratford Experience -- Escapade -- God Save the Foundation -- Lovers and Madmen -- No Fool Like an Old Fool -- The Tennessee Waltz -- Coasting -- About the Author -- Copyright
