The author Gordon Goldsborough has launched another book focusing on the abandoned buildings in Manitoba.
He made stops in various parts of the province to promote his book. The book is titled "More Abandoned Manitoba" and is the sequel to his first release, "Abandoned Manitoba". The book describes buildings and places throughout our province that have been abandoned for one reason or another. Goldsborough talks about how he chose to start investigating abandoned things.
Goldsborough with his new book."They talk about how the province has changed, about our changing priorities," says Goldsborough. "The things that are abandoned are usually abandoned for a reason, they are no longer useful, the purpose for which they were created is no longer relevant, it is an interesting statement of our priorities and how they have changed each of the chapters of this book it's the story of some kind of change in Manitoba. "
From Canada's oldest wooden grain elevator, to an abandoned shipping port at the mouth of the Nelson River in northern Manitoba, and even to an old spy near Churchill, Goldsborough has traveled throughout Manitoba in search of things that have been abandoned and forgotten for the most part. Asked about the popularity of his book, Goldsborough admits he was surprised at the start.
"He throws me away because when I started I thought it was a personal obsession," says Goldsborough. "It was a bit strange and people were wondering why I wanted to do it, it's very rewarding when people come and says I find it interesting that this thing is a little bit strange for people. fun, I can share this obsession with people and they seem to like them as much as I do. "
Asked how long the obsession will last, Goldsborough chuckled and replied that he had enough material for another book in the next two years, but after what he knows, as stories continue to come from people across the province.
Gordon Goldsborough will stop at Boissevain for signing and presenting a book. It will be at the Sawmill on December 3rd between 19:00 and 19:00.
