SUMMARY:On Oil: Don Gillmor at Words Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join Don Gillmor as he speaks about his new book On Oil\, a searching reconsideration of our long\, complex\, tortured relationship with oil\, in this virtual event with the Words Festival. Don will be in conversation with host and Words Director Josh Lambier. \nThis free virtual event will take place on Tuesday\, April 29 at 7pm EST over Zoom. \nMore details and event link here. \nGrab On Oil here! \nABOUT ON OIL \nA journalist\, and former roughneck\, considers our long\, complex\, tortured relationship with oil. \nOil has dominated our lives for the last century. It has given us warmth\, progress\, and life-threatening pollution. It has been a gift and is now a threat. It has started wars\, ended wars\, and infiltrated governments—in some cases\, effectively become the government. And now oil’s enduring mythology is facing a messy\, complicated twilight. \nIn On Oil\, Don Gillmor\, who worked as a roughneck on oil rigs during the seventies oil boom in Alberta\, looks at how the industry has changed over the decades and illustrates the ways our dependence on oil has led to regulatory capture\, in Canada and elsewhere\, and contributed to armed conflict and war across the world. Gillmor documents the myriad ways that oil companies have misdirected environmental action and misinformed the public about climate concerns and illuminates where we went wrong—and how we might yet change course. \nABOUT DON GILLMOR \nDon Gillmor is the author of To the River\, which won the Governor General’s Award for nonfiction. He is the author of three novels\, Long Change\, Mount Pleasant\, and Kanata\, a two-volume history of Canada\, Canada: A People’s History\, and nine books for children\, two of which were nominated for the Governor General’s Award. He was a senior editor at The Walrus\, and his journalism has appeared in Rolling Stone\, GQ\, The Walrus\, Saturday Night\, Toronto Life\, the Globe and Mail\, and the Toronto Star. He has won twelve National Magazine Awards and numerous other honours. He lives in Toronto.
