About the author
Ryan Oakley was raised in a small town and discovered at an early age that he was drawn to the bright lights, white noise and gaudy trappings of the big city. In the din of the city he lives his life, experiencing it all; using his experiences to further his writing, he says, “I’ve always enjoyed writing. I don’t know when I started doing it — I was a little kid—and I’ve always tried to make the time to do it.”
Although Oakley never completed a high school education, he admits that he’s not “a particularly stupid man”. He works as a bartender, waiter and dishwasher, as needs be, and is fast becoming known as Toronto’s most notorious dandy and renowned flaneur.
