  • Welcome and such

    Welcome to Archipelagoes. I'm a Toronto-based writer and consultant, and the former founding editor of the Canadian quarterly Gravitas. Much of the material you see here -- which spans politics, film, art, literature, the environment, and whatever else I happen to find compelling or curious -- can also be found on the blog sans everything, where it merrily rubs shoulders with though-provoking pieces by John Haffner, Jeet Heer, A.M. Lamey, and Sophie Pollitt-Cohen. Contact me at iangmason at canada dot com.
