Canadian Book Advent Calendar (Day 23) - "W" is for Wagamese, Warren and Wright

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.

“W” is for Richard Wagamese

Wagamese is an author and journalist from the Ojibway Wabasseemoong First Nation in northwestern Ontario.
