The Last Commandment: Thou Shall Not Beguile

From: The Next Big Thing

$1.50

"Neil Reynolds dropped out of high school to work for a newspaper, and over a long career became one of the great editors of newspapers in Canada. He was editor of the Kingston Whig-Standard, the New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal and Saint John Times Globe, the Ottawa Citizen, and the Vancouver Sun. He was an inspiring and courageous leader in a newsroom. I know this to be true because I worked in some of his newsrooms, where he told us that we were producing the literature of the people, and that most of all, literature should be memorable. At the end of his career, he shared his time between Ottawa and New Brunswick, as editor-at-large for Brunswick News Inc. and writing a column for the Globe and Mail. We cornered him for this talk during an east coast leg of his travels. Reynolds died on May 19, 2013."

A journalist, lecturer, and bestselling writer, Philip Lee began his career as an investigative reporter on Canada’s east coast. Restigouche emerged from his long-standing interest in rivers and the people who love them. His first book, Home Pool: The Fight to Save the Atlantic Salmon, grew out of his award-winning reporting on the decline of the Atlantic salmon. Lee is also the author of Frank: The Life and Politics of Frank McKenna, a national bestseller, and Bittersweet: Confessions of a Twice-Married Man, which was long-listed for the BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. A professor at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, Lee developed the Dalton Camp lecture series, broadcast annually by CBC Radio’s Ideas and edited The Next Big Thing (a published collection from the lectures). When he is not writing and teaching, Lee spends as much time as he can following the currents of rivers.
