For this year’s advent calendar, I am recommending Canadian authors/books found on Schatje’s Shelves. Again, to make things more interesting/challenging, I will use the alphabet, skipping “X” and “Z”. In total, I propose to focus on 50 Canadian writers, an early nod to Canada's 150th birthday next year.
“K” is for Joy Kogawa
Kogawa is a poet and novelist best known for her
semi-autobiographical novel Obasan
which has been named as one of the most important books in Canadian history by
the Literary Review of Canada.
Novels (which I recommend):
Obasan
Itsuka
