For nearly four decades, journalist Ernest Hillen travelled from coast to coast in his adopted country of Canada and throughout the wider world, crafting stories that were sometimes amusing, occasionally bleak, often poignant--and always memorable.

A Memoir in Pieces gathers together some of his favourites. Here you will meet a Montreal-born mercenary soldier who declares I like to fight. Once you've tasted blood, you want more. You'll sit down to a lunch of hamburgers, pickles, tea and Scotch with Canadian television icon Bob Homme (better remembered as The Friendly Giant). And you'll wade through the mud of a refugee camp housing the desperate souls displaced by the war that gave rise to an independent Bangladesh--a camp where, Hillen wrote, I shot hundreds of pictures knowing many of the subjects wouldn't be living when this [story] saw print.
