Q+A
WITH WILL
FERGUSON
Will Ferguson: you’ve likely heard the name, if not, well,
he’s one of Canada’s best travel writers and novelists.
Often humourous, and always engaging, he has written more than a dozen books which include, Beyond
Belfast, Beauty Tips from Moose Jaws and more
recently, Road Trip Rwanda: A Journey Into the Heart
of Africa. In addition to travel memoirs, he also writes
literary fiction (419, Hustle, Spanish Fly). He has
won numerous awards in his career thus far, including
three Leacock Medals for Humour and a Scotiabank
Giller Prize. In addition to these accomplishments,
he has traversed the globe and was the head writer for
the Vancouver Olympics Closing Ceremony.
I was very excited to catch up with Will recently, to
chat all about a subject that is near and dear to both
of us: travelling. >>
