Author and journalist Michael Rowe launched Other Men’s Sons (Cormorant Books), a collection of his essays and profiles, at the Fly Nightclub in downtown Toronto on Sept. 18.

Doubleday Canada’s Tim Rostron and the Dominion Institute’s Robert Meynell (who is also a Q&Q reviewer) hoist a glass and a book, respectively, in Rowe’s honour.
