The Orchid: Intimate Portraits of a Fascinating Flower - Hardcover

David Berry is a writer, editor and critic. He spent the first two decades of his professional career profiling and critiquing the book, film, music and theatre scenes for an Edmonton-based alt-weekly, and then did the same nationally for the National Post. He has contributed essays, criticism and features to the Globe and Mail, The Walrus, CBC, Hazlitt, and many other places, some of which still exist.His first book, On Nostalgia, was published in summer 2020 by Coach House Books, just in time for everyone to suddenly become incredibly nostalgic for a time when they could actually see people and maybe even buy books in person. He lives in Edmonton with his partner and their two children, one of whom is both old enough to read and quite insistent on being referenced in this biography.
