Kathryn Borel, sometimes credited as Kathryn Borel Jr. (born June 23, 1979 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian writer, editor, and radio producer.[1]
Contents
Career
She studied journalism at King's College, a liberal arts university in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, offering mainly undergraduate programs.[2] Borel has written and broadcast for many local and national programs on CBC Radio One, including Metro Morning, GO!, Q, Day 6 and As It Happens.[3] Her print journalism work includes a past column for the National Post called "Indignities", and a food column called "Column Dine" for Eye Weekly. She has written for The Guardian, The Times UK, The Believer, The Globe & Mail, En Route, The Toronto Star, The Walrus, Salon.com, and Nerve.com. She has put out two anthologies of essays: "Parents Were Awesome" and "The Edible City."
Memoir
She was nominated for the Stephen Leacock Award for her 2009 memoir, Corked.[4] Jay McInerney, New York Times bestselling author of ‘How It Ended’ stated that “....Borel has written a funny, quirky, bittersweet memoir full of wry wisdom on the subjects of wine, grief, memory, France and family.” It was "chosen as one of the best books of 2009 by The National Post, Quill & Quire and Eye Weekly." The Globe and Mail review states that the memoir "...recalls two darkly humorous weeks in a tumultuous father-daughter relationship, replete with the author's mutually escalating insecurities: insecurity about paternal love and the inevitability of death, lover love, wine love, wine speak and insecurity about insecurity."[5]
Current activities
She writes for television dramas for the CW network/CBS studios, and for the Weinstein Company. She is also an editor at The Believer.
On December 2, 2014, Borel published an op-ed in The Guardian, where she described being sexually harassed by former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi, while on the job.[6] She described going to her union, the Canadian Media Guild, to protest his harassment of her; she states that the union representative and the executive producer at Q "did nothing."
