I really enjoy writing about places: the idea of setting as character is an aspect of CanLit that’s really stuck with me. I like to think that generally I can keep a narrative going, but this piece was really designed as self-indulgent location-porn. It’s not particularly plot-heavy. A lot of the way it’s framed is because I can’t quite conceive of actually doing travel writing and making it interesting to anyone, but I love architecture and the things that make each place unique.
