Summary:
"There was a time -- not so long ago -- when the rich and influential quivered with trepidation as they opened the pages of the Evening Telegram. For within that newspaper lurked
Ray
Guy
, whose sharp satire revealed bitter truths about those who wielded power in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Guy
, heralded as the real opposition to Premier Joey Smallwood, wrote with passion about the subject dearest to his heart -- Newfoundland and Labrador. For decades, he wrote fearlessly and defiantly in a range of local and national media. But
Guy
was also a deeply trouble man, who struggled against alcoholism and depression. Ron Crocker was a roommate and colleague of
Guy
in his Evening Telegram Days. Drawing on years of friendship, as well as an in-depth reading of Guy’s works and candid interviews with many of those closest to him, Crocker delivers a detailed
portrait
of the writer and his work. Gay
Guy
:
Portrait
of a
Rebel
is a testament and a toast to
Ray
Guy’s brilliant writing. It is also a compelling biography of a complex man with an incredible gift."--Publisher.
