David Gilmour was born in London, Ontario in 1949. He holds an Honors BA in French, a B.Ed., and did graduate work at Victoria College, studying Comparative Literature under Northrop Frye. In 1980, Gilmour became the managing editor of the Film Festival, a post he held for four years. In 1986 he began his career with the CBC, as the film critic for The Journal . During his stint there, he reviewed more than 300 movies and was eventually promoted to host The Journal’s Friday Night Arts and entertainment segment. Starting in 1990, Gilmour hosted his own program on CBC Newsworld called Gilmour on the Arts . He continued as an arts correspondent with the main CBC network when The Journal was folded into CBC Prime Time News . Then, after a two-year absence, in 1994 Gilmour on the Arts was re-packaged in a new format and later won a Gemini Award. Through it all, Gilmour established himself as a critically-acclaimed novelist. His first novel, Back on Tuesday , was published in 1986, followed by How Boys See Girls in 1991. His third novel, An Affair with the Moon , was published in 1993. Gilmour left television in 1997 to focus on his writing career. Lost Between Houses , published in 1999, was a best-seller in Canada and nominated for the Trillium Book Award. Sparrow Nights , his fifth novel, was published in 2001 by Random House to excellent reviews in The Globe and Mail , The New York Times and Washington Post . His sixth novel, A Perfect Night to Go to China , won the 2005 Governor-General’s Award for fiction and has been translated into Russian, Thai, Italian, French, Dutch, Bulgarian, Turkish, and Serbian. In June of 2007, Gilmour won two gold National Magazine Awards for his essay “My Life with Tolstoy” which appeared in The Walrus magazine. The Film Club (2008) is a non-fiction account of what happened when he let his teenage son drop out of school — on condition that he watch three movies a week with his father. The Film Club has been translated into 24 languages so far, including Japanese, Icelandic, Chinese, and Catalan and was a bestseller in Germany, Brazil and Canada. He has two children, Maggie and Jesse, and lives in Toronto. Mr. Gilmour’s latest novel, Extraordinary , was published by HarperCollins in September, 2013. He currently teaches literature and creative writing at the . Tough Guy Lit Prof: "I'm Not Interested in Teaching Books by Women" David Gilmour is a singer in . The less famous David Gilmour is an author and professor at the University of Toronto. That David Gilmour is, as of today, most famous for declaring that "What I teach is guys." This is from an interview with Gilmour on Random House's website. Perhaps it will goose his book sales? You never know. Here, David Gilmour describes what he teaches his literature students at the University of Toronto: David Gilmour. I’m not interested in teaching books by women. Virginia Woolf is the only writer that interests me as a woman writer, so I do teach one of her short stories. But once again, when I was given this job I said I would only teach the people that I truly, truly love. Unfortunately, none of those happen to be Chinese, or women. Except for Virginia Woolf. And when I tried to teach Virginia Woolf, she’s too sophisticated, even for a third- year class. Usually at the beginning of the semester a hand shoots up and someone asks why there aren’t any women writers in the course. I say I don’t love women writers enough to teach them, if you want women writers go down the hall. What I teach is guys. Serious heterosexual guys. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chekhov, Tolstoy. Real guy-guys. Henry Miller. Philip Roth. Classified Information in Battle of Sexes : HOW BOYS SEE GIRLS, by David Gilmour, Random House, $19, 161 pages. While women often bemoan the fact that they are stereotyped by men (into those Madonna/whore/buddy categories), it is equally true that females engage in some of the same rough classifications. You never hear a mother nagging her daughter to: “Go out and find a nice barfly, for heaven’s sake! Find someone who will cheat on you and hand you some laughs and some good times!” Still, many women love boozy, selfish charmers for the laughs, the afternoons spent in sunny parks or smoke-filled bars, and--let’s come out and say it--they appreciate low-achieving lounge lizards for the romance they offer, the hokum, the suffering, the silly jokes, the sex. You have to go pretty far back in time to find a novel in which a male narrator unabashedly gives so much time and attention to the little matter of love. Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms” is the respectable example. Two more raffish ones include Wirt Williams’ “Love in a Windy Space” and Gene D’Olive’s “Chiara” (in which the hero, during his “ten days of love at Positano,” spends so much time in the sexual act that his knees become permanently skinned). And let’s not forget about Henry Miller. Today, though, it seems that most writers--and readers--are presuming that heroes be out fighting wars or putting money in their bank accounts. “I was drinking a lot in those days,” Bix, the narrator of David Gilmour’s “How Boys See Girls,” tells us in his opening sentence. “I don’t apologize for it . . . when the booze clicked in, things looked ripe as yellow flowers and the moments soared like one of those free-floating birds I saw from the hotel window when I was a kid.” If you don’t like that opening sentence, you can put the book down right there and pick up something like “Successfully Gouging the Poor in the Upcoming ‘90s.” If you love this sentence, read on to find out about Bix, who is living his 40th year through a lovely summer in Toronto. Bix writes speeches for high achievers, stuffing platitudes into their prim, unimaginative mouths. He has a nice ex-wife there with him, and a very sweet daughter. But Bix is at loose ends--and at his ease--in this beautiful city, where spring leaves bud out on winter’s trees, and street vendors come out on corners to display their tacky, appealing wares. One of these vendors is 19-year-old Holly, a school dropout, a lonely girl, a girl who, though pretty, has no conversation. Bix, turning 40 this summer, is transfixed with lust. He’s crazy about her. And he does some crazy things while he contrives to meet her, make love to her. Everything about Holly drives Bix loony with desire. As Tina Turner might question: “What’s love got to do with it?” It’s the damp hair under Holly’s arms, the turn of her grubby ankles, that makes Bix her love slave--that, and the fact that she’s got a yen for somebody else. Bummer! The summer unfolds, and so does their romance. Bix tells us about it. He believes in lust, drunkenness, the body, nights waking up with this girl when she has a light fever. When she tells him she’s not very attracted to him physically, Bix suffers a sort of physical agony. But none of that keeps him from long afternoons chatting with his ex-wife, or drifting out--with self-regarding melancholy--to a local strip joint, or looking after his child when it’s his turn, or walking the beautiful, lively streets of Toronto, happy, in his romantic suffering, his sexual malaise, just to be alive. Yes, there are all kinds of guys. Bix will never fight in Desert Storm. He will never run for political office. He may not even pay his child support. But without him and his morally unregenerate brethren, women everywhere would yawn themselves to death, and their sweet young bodies would dry up from being inadequately loved.

Released in 1985, Bryan Ferry’s sixth solo album is a timeless masterpiece, the product of an unparalleled master craftsman working at the height of his considerable powers. After a run of fourteen (with Roxy Music and solo) in the decade-long span between 1972 and 1982, the wait for new material must have been intolerable for many Ferrymaniacs; rarely in pop music has patient dedication been so handsomely rewarded. An absolute feast for the ears, Boys and Girls is one of the most seductive pop records of its decade, and every decade since, the sumptuous production inviting you on a sleek sonic trip through the beating heart of the city. It’s the kind of album that adjectives, and HiFis were made for. Involving seven studios and a cornucopia of session heavyweights (including , David Gilmour and Nile Rodgers on alone), Boys and Girls is the culmination of all of Ferry’s best aesthetic instincts about the new possibilities heralded by the dawn of digital recording. From the string section tuning up at the start of the propulsive and sure-footedly loose ‘Sensation’ to the last drum machine hit in ‘Boys and Girls’, the use of texture and mood is captivating, showcasing every conceivable facet of instrumental character against perfectly spaced arrangements. In the hands of Ferry and his co-producer Rhett Davies the machines can sound as warm as a human heartbeat and the drums as cold as the arctic tundra, all bathed in a wash of bright and eddying synths. The album’s centerpiece is undoubtedly its biggest hit, the near-ubiquitous ‘Slave To Love’, and it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of this essential record. Underpinned by a gently swaying and synthetically sweet samba rhythm, the chiming and liquid bass line impart a sense of wounded romance, enveloping melancholy around the radiant melody’s fibres, until Ferry’s yearning, heart-rending vocal seals the deal. An album of precisely crafted sonic delights and resonant emotional depth, at its heart, Boys and Girls is a record for lovers – aesthetes and audiophiles included.
