Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.
Bill Arnott joins me again. He’s just published a new book A Season in the Okanagan. In the book he takes the reader into the Okanagan region of British Columbia. It’s a part of the province he knows, having grown up there. It’s bucolic, and a tourist attraction for those who appreciate the outdoors, wine and bountiful fruits and vegetables. Bill doesn’t just narrate his travels, and the people he encounters, not to mention wildlife, he depicts what he sees through artistic renderings that illustrate how bright and vast the land is. Bill also shares conversations he’s had with people who live in the region. He gets a great understanding of what draws people to the Okanagan, despite the ever-thickening smoke every fire season, or just the weather that’s different there than here in Metro Vancouver, for example if it’s hot here, it’s likely warmer there, or colder there in the winter. Bill also looks at how history is depicted in public institutions like museums. He also takes the time to look at the land, history, and people through how the Indigeous view the land. Bill Arnott is the bestselling author of A Perfect Day for a Walk: The History, Cultures, and Communities of Vancouver, On Foot, which he was on this show with back in the fall. He’s also written A Season on Vancouver Island, as well as the Gone Viking series. This new book is published by Rocky Mountain Books. We spoke a week and a half ago. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Bill Arnott; Mr. Arnott, good morning.
