There is probably a section in this book that will resonate with every Morningside fan. For me, it was the interviews with Robertson Davies. The first was when his book Murther and Walking Spirits came out. I believe that was 1991. Davies was seventy-eight then and at some point he said "I'm getting to be quite an old party." But three years later, in 1994, he published another book, The Cunning Man, and he came back to Morningside to talk to Gzowski about it.

Interviews with four other Canadian writers are included here: Alice Munro, Timothy Findley, Margaret Atwood and Margaret Laurence and each interview is a gem.
