Tango on the Main

In this award-winning collection from his Montreal Gazette city columns, Joe Fiorito reveals the true heart and soul of a large city. He walks the streets, meeting and talking to the people who make the city tick but never make the front-page news. In Tango on the Main he introduces us to Jackie of the Ritz, Montreal’s chambermaid to the stars; the itinerant who reads Tennyson and drinks his daily pint of vodka on the McGill campus; the former featherweight champ who spends his mornings at the gym and his afternoons taking care of his ailing wife—to name but a few of the memorable characters whose lives he explores.
