A voice for the dying

An article in Toronto’s Eye Weekly magazine profiles a new publishing house that specializes in memoirs by and about the terminally ill. Grubstreetbooks is the creation of writer and retired Ontario College of Art and Design instructor Morris Wolfe and his partner, Joy Cohnstaedt, a retired York University professor. Wolfe lost a daughter to cancer in 2001, an experience captured in the grubstreetbooks volume Menya: An End of Life Story. Wolfe is currently editing a number of memoirs by terminally ill authors who have since passed on, as well as an oral history of Toronto’s homeless population.
