By Frank Moher In the last episode of “Kelly and Me,” I wrote about an exchange via twitter with the Globe and Mail theater critic J. Kelly Nestruck, in which he expressed his disappointment in me for supposing that we might not have the full story of what happened on 9/11. That was over a […]
Why I am a disappointment to J. Kelly Nestruck
By Frank Moher I had an interesting conversation with the critic J. Kelly Nestruck recently, if an exchange on twitter can be called a conversation.
