| Gould's
first article, "Homage
to Cohen",was based on his Ph.D. thesis, which he received
at York University in Toronto in 1977. This much-abbreviated, yet
still-comprehensive, profile is a revealing look at Canada's greatest
theatre critic. Not only is Cohen one of Gould's personal heroes,
but the article won the Brascan National Magazine Award for Culture
in 1981. "Strutting of to Stratford, Shuffling off to Shaw", a playfully-mocking look at two of the finest theatre festivals in Canada (which happen to be two-hour driving distances from Toronto). This article won the 1980 Author's Award from the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Letters. "No Laughing Matter", a scholarly yet evocative study of the risk of ethnic and religious jokes, won a Print Non-Daily Honorable Mention at the Annual Media Human Rights Awards in 1994. "The Rights of the Patient" is a devastating look at the clinical abuse of physically and mentally disabled children by the medical community in Ontario in the early 1980s, and a subsequent trial which garnered national attention. Although the article did not earn an award, Gould thinks it is the most important he ever wrote. |
