About meI teach in the Department of Geography at York University in Toronto, Canada. My current research, the Imagining Toronto project (www.imaginingtoronto.com), explores intersections of literature and place in the Toronto region.
My book, Imagining Toronto, will be published by Mansfield Press in 2009.
I am a contributing editor with Spacing Magazine (www.spacing.ca), where I write a regular column on Toronto literature. You can also read my work in Open Book magazine, Reading Toronto, The State of the Arts: Living with Culture in Toronto (Coach House Books, 2006) and (with Peter Fruchter) GreenTOpia (Coach House, 2007), and in Canada: A Literary Tour (LAC, forthcoming 2008). I speak regularly to scholarly and popular audiences about Toronto literature and the imaginative qualities of cities.
About my libraryProdigious and increasing regularly, mainly in the following subject areas: Toronto literature, Canadian literature, science fiction and fantasy (Peter's taste more than mine), geography / urban studies / environment / nature, philosophy (especially philosophy of science and (Heideggerian) phenomenology), cultural studies, scholarly works on gender and sexuality, American / British/international literature, gardening manuals and plant guides, cookbooks, building, children's literature, and so on.
However, here at LibraryThing you're likely to see only (or mostly only) titles related to Toronto, Toronto literature, cities and urban culture, and theories of space and place. This is a bit of a working library, in other words.

Thank you for adding me to your Interesting Librairies. I have been to your Imagining Toronto homepage and find it very interesting!

My name is Dawn and I am the librarian for Book Buzz (here on LibraryThing and for Toronto Public Library). I just wanted to let you know that we are featuring Consolation as our first One Book, One City programme and I embedded a link to your excellent "Imagining Toronto Library" website.
I hope that's ok with you - I'd like our readers to expand their awareness of Toronto Lit, but also to more broadly consider the themes of Michael Redhill's novel.
Here's the link to the page (it will become our front page on Feb 1): http://bookbuzz.torontopubliclibrary.ca/...
Many thanks,
Dawn

Robert Charles Wilson lives in Toronto, and at least some of his short stories are set there. See "The Perseids and Other Stories."

Chris has at least one s/f novel set in Toronto (IIRC, the ROM is prominently featured). For the life of me, I cannot remeber the author; I'll find out later, when everyone is up
