In Episode 122, Gen and Jette keep up their CanCon with a discussion of Canadian authors. Show NotesIf you're unfamiliar with CanCon, it's the stipulation that all Canadian media contain a certain percentage of content produced, written, etc. by Canadians. It turns out we have a lot of episodes about books by Canadian authors (though not 35% as dictated by CanCon...we're working on it LOL). Find them all listed below.Listen to the CBC Massey Lectures for free on the CBC Radio website Alicia Elliot's new novel, And Then She Fell, is expected September 26.Anne Michael's new novel, Held, is expected November 9.Should we do an episode on Marian Engle's Bear?We did our best to list everything we talked about below, but it's very likely that we left something out since we talked about a lot.
