À propos de cet audio

 INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Shortlisted for the 2024 Speaker’s Book Award

From bestselling author Ken Dryden, a riveting new book.

On Tuesday, September 6, 1960, the day after Labour Day, class 9G at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute in a suburb of Toronto assembled for the first time. Its thirty-five students, having written special exams, came to be known as the “Selected Class.”

They would stay together through high school, with few exceptions. They would spend more than two hundred days a year together. Few had known each other before. Few have been in other than accidental contact in all the decades since.

Their ancestors were almost all from working-class backgrounds. Their parents had lived their formative years through depression and war. They themselves were born into a postwar world of new homes, new schools, new churches. New suburbs. Of new classes like this one. Of boundless possibilities.

When almost anything seems within reach, what do we reach for?

Ken Dryden was one of these thirty-five. In his varied, improbable life, he had wondered often how he had gotten from there to here. How any of us do. He decided to try and find his classmates, to see how they are, what they are doing, how life has been for them. They talked many long hours, in a way they had never talked before. Most had married, some divorced, most have kids, many have grandkids.

This is the story of a place, a time, and so much more. Amériques Canada Mémoires Guerre

Ce que les critiques en disent

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Shortlisted for the 2024 Speaker’s Book Award

“Contemplative, thoughtful and revealing.”
—Winnipeg Free Press

“Vivid [and] punchy. . . . Brief as these sketches were, these people lived for me.”
—Literary Review of Canada

“The Class is more than just a ‘where are they now?’ book of fond memories and reminiscences. Ken Dryden writes with a great deal of intelligence, introspection, and humanity to discover how a core group of high school students from an elite education program made the human journey from there to here during an exciting, turbulent time in modern Canadian history.”
—Montreal Times
