Dr. Rae Fleming is a biographer, historian and raconteur who believes that history begins at home. His latest book is a biography of Peter Gzowski that reveals a darker side of the man that he kept well hidden from his adoring fans. Fleming argues that this darkness contributed to Gzowski's knowledge of people and to his laser-sharp ability to get to the essence of any issue or person.

Refreshments are served before the meeting from 7 pm.

The meeting takes place at the S. Walter Stewart Library at 170 Memorial Park Avenue at Durant Avenue and is sponsored by The East York Historical Society and The Toronto Public Library, S. Walter Stewart Branch.
