I like walking, and I've been out discovering the city on foot ever since I moved to Toronto, but it's only after reading Stroll that I realized how much I had been missing of the cityscape. How, as a newcomer, I had failed to realize that even the most modern building always has a history worth telling. Micallef's love for Toronto permeates his writing, and like a seasoned lover, he is keenly aware of both the most striking features and the most embarrassing shortcomings of his city. Which makes it even more sympathetic to the reader. So grab a copy of this book and go out. Now!
Dirty secret: Stroll is actually quite enjoyable to the armchair Torontonian, too.
Bonus: as of the time of this writing, Micallef is one of the writers in residence at the Toronto Public Library, and is organizing free guided tours of the city. I for one am signed up for the next one!½
