Linwood Barclay is one of the best-read columnists in the Toronto
Star, where his take on the lighter side of life appears Monday,
Friday and Saturday. When he isn’t taking a lighthearted
look at family life and everyday trials and tribulations, he’s
satirizing the world around us.
His most recent book, Last Resort: Coming of Age
in Cottage Country, received critical raves, a Stephen
Leacock Associates Award of Merit, and was shortlisted for the
2001 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour.
Linwood lives in Burlington with his wife Neetha and two children,
Spencer and Paige.
