The Book of Doug

About this book

Through poetry and art, Doug Barron provides a thought-provoking eclectic journey through his life in Nova Scotia and his varied occupations in media. Sometimes serious, oftentimes whimsical, this collection displays a highly inventive iconoclastic mind constantly at work trying to make sense of the world around him.

Readers will encounter Doug's unique elemental stories about urban life in Halifax, family reunions, DJ encounters, surfing, early life in Kitchener, working for the CBC, Frenchy's, coffee, Scrabble, love, destiny, fame, band names, rock gigs gone bad, drummers, fish and chips, Firesign Theatre, religion and potato salad.

It's a wild ride and not like any book you'd expect to find on a shelf. Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Doug Barron.
