Dan HillThe Globe and Mail
Dan Hill, the famed Canadian singer/songwriter, wrote last weekend in the Globe and Mail about the powerful impact Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird has had on him.
It's a book he has re-read throughout his life, and it was his constant companion on his recent concert tour. The novel still has the power to make him an "emotional wreck."
"The beauty of Mockingbird is that the longing for human connection and random acts of kindness keeps popping up, always when you least expect it," Hill wrote.
On Thursday (July 8) in Toronto, as one of a long list of events around the world marking this Sunday's 50th anniversay of the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird, Hill will be part of a free panel discussion with filmmaker Clement Virgo and Toronto District School Board Trustee Josh Matlow. The event takes place in the Appel Salon at Toronto Reference Library starting at 7 p.m.; doors open at 6.
You chat with Hill about To Kill a Mockingbird right here on Wednesday from 1-2 p.m. ET.
