Russell Smith

Russell Smith

Russell Claude Smith (born 2 August 1963) is a Canadian novelist, newspaper columnist, and expert on men's clothing and style. Smith is one of Canada's most famous "urban" novelists; that is, unlike the traditional perception of Canadian literature as being about predominantly rural settings and themes, Smith writes specifically about big city life.

He was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. Smith was educated at the Université de Paris and Queen's University. Smith has two weekly columns in "The Globe and Mail" newspaper. One is in the arts section and covers Canadian culture and the arts scene in Toronto, and the other is in the fashion section and discusses men's clothing. In 2006, Smith hosted the summer series "And Sometimes Y", an exploration of language, on CBC Radio One. As of January 2007 a new season is being broadcast. In 2006, he became editor of the online men's advisory service [http://www.xyyz.ca. XYYZ.ca] .
