The Bob Dylan Albums, Second Edition by Anthony Varesi (Guernica Editions)
Taking readers all the way from the early 1960s to 2021’s Springtime in New York, The Bob Dylan Albums is a comprehensive look at one of the finest songwriters – writers, period – to have ever picked up a guitar. Music enthusiasts and Dylan fans will delight in Varesi’s no-rolling-stone-left-unturned approach to examining each of his albums – the greats and lesser-known works alike.But you don’t have to take our word for it:The Mother of All Degrassi by Linda Schuyler (ECW Press)
It’s no wonder that the Degrassi series – beginning in the 1980s and still capturing youth audiences today – rings so true. Its creator, Linda Schuyler, was a Grade Eight teacher whose lesson on filmmaking turned into a profound realization that her students’ age group were being underserviced by what was on TV. So launched a legendary, influential TV series, as well as the intelligent, introspective woman behind the lens – all detailed in Linda’s memoir, The Mother of All Degrassi.But you don’t have to take our word for it:* * *
