“So I was working 40 hours a week at the special orders desk of a big Toronto bookstore. Then after that job was done I'd spend 20 or more hours a week tutoring advanced high school students in science and mathematics.

And I did that every day, and I did it for seven years, and I would crash at the weekends trying to recuperate. So the book was written under a lot of duress. It was a pretty black time, financially and emotionally.”
