Done Hunting : A Memoir

"Done Hunting" is the third and final volume of Martin Hunter s memoirs. It focuses on his life, adventures, and observations as he moves from his sixth to ninth decades. With descriptions of theatrical productions he s written and directed, it also provides a subtle commentary on Canada and its social and cultural place in the world. "Done Hunting" also chronicles Hunter s experiences as a magazine and radio journalist, and his unsuccessful attempts to break into film and television as a scriptwriter. Accounts of his travels in Mexico, Sweden, England, France, and Italy include fascinating encounters with Laurier LaPierre, Bill Glassco, David Earle, and Adrienne Clarkson and writers Barry Callaghan, Mavis Gallant, and Gore Vidal. His friendship with Richard Monette and peripheral involvement with the Stratford Festival, as well as his work as a philanthropist as president of the K.M. Hunter Charitable Foundation, established by his father, are highlights of this fascinating and insightful self-examination."
