Rust Spots: Controversial Author

Mordecai Richler Dept: This dilapidated Montreal structure has been designated in honour of Mordecai Richler, one of Canada's literary giants, according to CBC. 'Were the graffiti to be left, I think somehow that would have delighted Mordecai because ... it would be critical and that was his nature' The gazebo's decaying shingles are curling to the sky, its rust spots are partially covered by graffiti, and its floorboards were being used Wednesday as a makeshift motel by a scruffy-looking man. The famed, yet frequently controversial, author's hometown is planning to refurbish the Mont Royal Park gazebo and convert it to a speaker's corner by next summer. As reported in the news.
