Pluck & Luck: The Tragedies and Triumphs of a Free Canadian by Harvey Sawler is the authorized biography of Toronto-born impresario, promoter, salesman, and thoroughbred horseman John Uren.
Pluck and luck. Do and dare. Risk and reward. Work and win. And lose. Uren's life was a theatrical production of drama and comedy, heroes and heroines, songs and soliloquies. He was the Forrest Gump of Canada - manically on the move, unexpectedly at the happenings and constantly in the company of a celebrity, from sporting greats, to Joni Mitchell, to Marlene Dietrich, to Shakespearean stars.

Produktbeschreibung
Pluck & Luck: The Tragedies and Triumphs of a Free Canadian by Harvey Sawler is the authorized biography of Toronto-born impresario, promoter, salesman, and thoroughbred horseman John Uren.

Pluck and luck. Do and dare. Risk and reward. Work and win. And lose. Uren's life was a theatrical production of drama and comedy, heroes and heroines, songs and soliloquies. He was the Forrest Gump of Canada - manically on the move, unexpectedly at the happenings and constantly in the company of a celebrity, from sporting greats, to Joni Mitchell, to Marlene Dietrich, to Shakespearean stars.

And always in the background, a symphony of tragedy that shattered his upper-middle-class family, in endless rivalry with a life-defining melody and accompanying lyrics: life is no abyss...somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness.

Autorenporträt
Harvey Sawler was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, but has lived most of his adult life in Atlantic Canada. He began his career as a newspaper journalist covering such diverse stories as the Pierre Trudeau 1974 campaign train and the 1975 double homicide of two City of Moncton police officers. He has gone on to become a seasoned publicist and a leading Canadian tourism consultant. He has written sixteen books, including three novels and twelve non-fiction works, highlighted by Twenty-First Century Irvings and Last Canadian Beer - The Moosehead Story, and a series of biographies, including Frank McKenna - Beyond Politics. The themed biography, On the Road with Dutch Mason (co-authored with fellow blues musician David Bedford), was premiered as a musical production at the 2018 Charlottetown Festival. Harvey lives at Bellevue Cove, Prince Edward Island, with his partner, Charlotte Stewart.
