Omschrijving
"For nearly two decades, The Tyee has cast its gaze on the underserved populations and overlooked stories that are crucial to knowing BC's history, its current predicaments, and its future aspirations. Blending reportage with first-person storytelling, the varied but consistently engaging stories from Points of Interest reach virtually every corner of our province and, in total, capture the happy accidents and cruel injustices that have shaped it, and the dynamic people living here working to make it a better place."
—Kevin Chong, author of The Double Life of Benson Yu
“These lovingly wrought essays serve as an insider’s guide to the hot spots, sore spots, bright spots, and dark corners of BC, a place that never fails to surprise.”
—John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather
"Points of Interest is a captivating collection of essays highlighting the unique texture of BC. Each essay offers its readers a new appreciation for the rich diversity of British Columbia. Individually, they unveil lesser-known histories and shared personal stories, and woven together, they form a powerful narrative of community, grief, triumph, and unwavering pride. An immersive read!"
—Chelene Knight, author of award-winning Dear Current Occupant and Junie
