Peter C. Newman, one of the most influential biographers in Canadian history, came to Canada as a young boy in 1940, a refugee from Nazi Europe. His quest to gain a voice in his adopted country was immediately smothered by another, more powerful feeling: that he didn't belong, that he was an outsider. Peter Newman has been affected by the events of his dramatic life - and those events have, in turn, affected what he's written, who he's profiled and how he's interpreted his subjects' lives.
