Welcome to the Rover, an independent review of the arts. Our turf is the community of Montreal, our subject matter, any cultural offering available to people who live in or within striking distance of this great city. The hundred-mile diet is hereby applied to arts coverage and comment.

Thanks to the magic of the web, our range is far beyond the local. Look for comment on books, writing, film, art, performance, television, video, music and the many spinoffs. Expect to read about the obscure music venue, the blockbuster exhibition, the shoestring theatre production, the mega-star on tour, the self-published masterpiece sold on the Main by an unsung genius. Our goal is to tell you what excites or disappoints us from among the cultural offerings available in our midst. Please stay in touch!
