Garth drabinsky autobiography

Garth Drabinsky was appalled that day in 1987 when he heard that publishers were about to bid at auction for the rights to an unauthorized biography of himself. Realizing that “a book filled with misstatements and misrepresentations and ignorant reporting of the facts would do me a lot of harm,” he quickly took strong evasive action by announcing plans to write his autobiography. Naturally, the unauthorized project quickly collapsed.

Nearly eight years later, McClelland & Stewart has published Closer To The Sun, in which the powerful and accomplished Toronto-based entertainment mogul, dubbed “the Canadian Ziegfeld” by a New York writer,” tells his own story in some 500 pages, frankly and compellingly, revealing much about himself in the process.
