EYE OPENER BOB, The Story of Bob Edwards, is the biography of a true Canadian original, the prototypical hard-drinking, pull-no-punches, irrepressible editor of Calgary's most singular newspaper, Calgary Eye Opene, and the city's most singular denizen.
Grant MacEwan arrived in the city at just the right time to write Eye Opener Bob—the old Sandstone City hadn't yet been whitewashed over by the new money from the Leduc gusher, and there were still living people who had known Edwards. MacEwan ferreted out their stories as only he could do, combined the interviews with hard research, and the result is Grant MacEwan's best book by a country mile.
