Michael Ondaatje: The English Patient Author ✍️

Michael Ondaatje, a Sri Lankan-born Canadian author, is best known for his novel 'The English Patient,' which won the Booker Prize and was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film. Ondaatje's lyrical prose and exploration of identity have made him a literary giant. A treasure for Canada! 🇨🇦 #Canada #MichaelOndaatje #CanadianLit #BookerPrize

Another great book from Canadian author Adam Shoaltz. In his newest book “where the falcon flies” he canoed and hiked from Lake Erie to the Artic (North of Labrador)

All his books are quite good if you’re into adventure stories and all his trips are within Canada which makes it even more amazing.

5/x Fave reads of 2023…

I bought Canadian writer Anita Anand's "A Convergence of Solitudes" by mistake, but it turned out to be maybe my favorite read of the year.

It's a lovely multigenerational novel set in 1970s Quebec about Desi immigration, French Canadian nationalism, music, and memory.

This was one of the very few times a book inspired me to write fan mail.

I just posted a review of "Sunshine Nails" by Mai Nguyen on bookwyrm. It's a deceptive easy summer read with challenging characters and ideas. Taking place in Toronto, I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for some light reading that doesn't necessarily let you off the hook in terms of challenging one's view of the world: https://bookwyrm.social/book/937675/s/sunshine-nails @bookstodon #bookstodon #bookreview #reading #bookrec #canadianlit

started a #wikipedia article on Canadian poet Annie Charlotte Dalton (1865-1938): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Charlotte_Dalton #deaf #Vancouver #dishist #canadianlit #poetry

Rebuilding my old Anne of Green Gables collection again, one set at a time. Purchased this set from one of my suking Facebook booksellers. Now on the lookout for the 5 other books in the series.

(also for the Emily of New Moon trilogy, uncomfortably *creepy* as that entire series made me feel when I was a kid 😅)
