Bookends highlights: Y’all know we’re Canada down
About this episode
Coast to coast, province to province, soccer pitch to hockey rink … there’s no one Canadian experience, and no one Canadian story. This week, Bookends is highlighting four Canadian writers we’ve featured on the show so far. From a hockey drama in the maritimes, to Canadian soldiers in the Second World War, to a long journey North, these stories about Canada might surprise you … or they might remind you of home. In this special Canada Day edition of the show, we’re revisiting Mattea Roach’s conversations with Jack Wang, Tyler Hellard, Alison McCreesh and Conor Kerr.
Hear the full conversations here:
- Jack Wang: Reimagining the lost stories of Chinese Canadians during WWII
- Meet hockey’s greatest (fictional) goon
- Alison McCreesh: Exploring the magic and nuance of life in the North in her latest graphic novel
- Capitalism, dating apps and why we love Edmonton
