The Author:  Gordon Stewart Anderson - A lively cosmopolitan traveller, fluent in several languages, touching lives and hearts the world over.

The Novel:  A controversial, fanciful, fictional novel that talks about the stuff that people are afraid to talk about - THE TORONTO YOU ARE LEAVING is the tender, bitingly honest story of a young gay man's coming out and coming of age.  David is the university student, the bookworm who is just beginning the joyful, difficult transition of bringing his private self forward.  Colourful, very real characters bring to life important issues such as homophobia, the effects that the coming-out can have on a family, and the impact of the historical beginning the of the HIV/AIDS plague upon the Toronto communities.  Warmth, eagerness, and vividly engaging characters are all here in the fascinating story of THE TORONTO YOU ARE LEAVING.  It cannot fail to touch its readers.
