It began as rumors. Whispers at meal gatherings. Warnings about bad times with a Canadian movie star. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, superstar CBC broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi revealed his affinity for "rough intimacy" in an extended Facebook post, and a scandal of unprecedented level descended on the air host. What the general public didn't know was that a few months before Ghomeshi's mental post, Canadaland podcaster Jesse Brown and Toronto Superstar journalist Kevin Donovan were quietly going after serious allegations against him. In Key Life, Donovan calls for us inside the Superstar's investigation. Detail by detail, he explores the storyline as only he is able to: the press frenzy, his own personal and professional doubts, the ladies who came ahead with testimonies about an alleged dark side of a nationwide idol, and Ghomeshi's ignominious firing and remarkable criminal trial. Taking us behind the scenes, Donovan sheds light on the journalistic process and the complexness of gathering information about a highly sensitive subject from called and confidential options, including those women who feared it was their phrase against a favorite general public figure's. Key Life is a thought-provoking consideration of the landmark Ghomeshi exposé that sparked a nation-wide discourse on erotic assault, the cult of movie star, and the politics of vitality and gender in the workplace.
