Before his tragic death in 1992, Greg Curnoe had submitted to Brick Books a manuscript based on extraordinarily detailed research into the history of 38 Weston, his address in London, Ontario. The result is a journal/collage that traces the occupancy of that one small plot of land hundreds of years back into aboriginal times. Deeds/Abstracts is an intensely concentrated and particular cross-section of Canadian history, layer upon layer upon layer.
