Openly Karl: a memoir

Openly Karl is a frank and generous memoir by one of Newfoundland and Labrador's most well-known media figures. Dive into the private and public life of Karl Wells, as told in his own words. From his birth in Buchans and early life in St. John's, to his rise in media and a 32-year career with Here and Now at the CBC, Openly Karl is a rare opportunity to bring the face and voice you know from your television back into focus. While he will forever be known as "the weatherman," Openly Karl explores the expanse of Karl Wells's career and the nuances of his personal life, including coming to terms with being gay during a less tolerant period of Newfoundland and Labrador's history and throughout the subsequent decades of social change. At times fascinating and funny, at others harrowing and heartbreaking, Karl's story will keep readers tuned in.
