Review of Tango on the Main
“Montreal's polychromatic personality is not just quirky, it is two minds and many seasons, eccentric to the point of being split, at once spiritual and bawdy, elusive but in-your-face. But it is also as true to itself as a carpenter's level. And Joe Fiorito digs away at that truth as no one has in Tango on the Main, a collection of prize-winning Gazette columns that provides an indispensable vade mecum to the city in its many moods.
Fiorito is that wonder of wonders, a deeply curious and perceptive reporter who is also a fine and imaginative writer. In the manner of Pablo Neruda's odes to socks and kindling wood and all the accoutrements of everyday life, his lapidary prose names things, building toward a definition of urban life.”
