Two things stand [out] about the first half of Mulcair’s book. One is that it’s completely authentic, an account not only of his formative years but of a vanished place and time ? English-Catholic Montreal in the middle of the 20th century. The other is that Mulcair obviously wrote it himself, because the voice is entirely his.
