Jordan Tannahill on cruising and the nature of time

Jordan Tannahill, the Giller Prize-shortlisted and Governor General's Award-winning playwright, director and novelist, has long used his work to shine a light on queer culture. His latest novel, The Living Realm, is no exception, but this time, there’s a ghostly twist. Set in Teufelssee — a famous cruising spot in Berlin’s Grunewald forest — the story follows an aging British archaeologist who’s convinced he’s seeing his deceased ex-lovers. Jordan joins Tom Power to discuss his own experiences in Teufelssee, why cruising makes him look at time differently, and how he embraces the spirit of the "eternal amateur."
