Life imitates art

Ex-M.P.P. Michael Bryant seems to have found himself in a situation which belongs only in a Tom Wolfe novel. It reads much better in a book than on the front page of the Globe. In the book we could sit back and enjoy Wolfe’s wit as the plot of Bonfire of the Vanities unfolded. As news, the same plot is no longer fun. Toronto doesn’t need to be New York, and Canada doesn’t need U.S.-style sensationalism. We’re at our best when our streets are safe and dull, and our “masters of the universe” are best quietly envied and loathed from afar.
