Toronto in Literature: Stunt
Jul 31, 2008 in Toronto in Literature
From Stunt by Claudia Dey:
Toronto Island is a sandspit. From above, it appears as a collection of rocks smoothed flat for luck by a nervous hand. Marbled by water, it is composed of fourteen islands in total, the archipelago coming together in a thick hook shape at its western end. The island was formed over the course of 10,000 years. After the Scarborough Bluffs were bullied into being by the last ice age, Toronto deaf under a kilometre of ice, the bluffs were carried by wind and currents to form a peninsula. The night of April 14, 1858, a storm broke the peninsula’s neck, separating it from Toronto for good and founding the island. It was, like so many things, born out of a natural and lengthy violence.
