Park Cruising feels immediate and personal in the exact way orator
and rhetoritcian Isocrates counselled millennia ago: the emotion
and the facts become a combined triumph that delivers McCann’s
argument straight to the heart.
*Xtra*
[McCann] shows us the past and the present, and provides us with a
vision of how the views of park cruising could and should evolve in
the future.
*In Magazine*
McCann’s strong prose explores sex and sex laws in
Canada. Park Cruising shows how those laws shape our
behaviours and contribute to our urban fabric, but most importantly
how they demonize an act that he argues should be joyous and full
of pleasure.
*The Grind*
