Get Lit

Autokrator is one of the most original books I've read in a while (also: thought-provoking, exciting, horrifying). That's why I wasn't surprised by how much enjoyed this conversation with author Emily A. Weedon. Check it out!

Hey folks! Today's guest is Avik Jain Chatlani, here to talk about his amazing (and occasionally harrowing) novel, This Country Is No Longer Yours. Enjoy the show.

FOUR HUNDRED, PEOPLE

That's wild.

As I mentioned on the show last week, I'm looking at winding the show down. The book-a-week reading pace has really interrupted my writing time. Then again, when I say "winding down" I mean…maybe episode 500? Which is about 100 books away?

I imagine after I do that, I'll start up a new pod, likely about writing, but not likely on a weekly basis.

In the meantime to celebrate 400 we have Shashi Bhat, here to talk about her excellent collection of stories, Death by A Thousand Cuts. I hope you like!

Hey folks! Today we talk with author Nicola Winstanley about her collection of stories, Smoke, New Zealand, and other fun things. Listen in!

Hey folks! Recovering from COVID over here. Good times. I'm OK though.

Today we talk with Sheila James about her novel, Outcaste. Enjoy!

On today's show we chat with Lynne Golodner about her novel, Woman of Valor. After that, we're joined by Gerald Arthur Moore, to talk about his collection Flak Jacket. Enjoy the show!

Hey folks! Seems every time I read a Canadian horror book, I'm floored. Last time it was Andrew F. Sullivan's The Marigold. Now it's A.G.A. Wilmot's Withered. Big ups to ECW Press, I guess! It hit all my horror sweet spots (creepy spots?). Listen in as we discuss Withered, mental health, and horror stuff.

Today's show is a double-header. We welcome back David Eisenstadt, to talk about his book, Under the Radar: 36 Notable Canadian Jewish Performers. We also talk with J Andersen about his debut collection of stories and poems, A Nasty Piece of Work Vol. 1. Hope you enjoy the show.

Welcome to this week's show! We had a great conversation with author Frankie Barnet, talking about their latest, Mood Swings. Listen in.

I've probably taken the Bruce Trail for granted, growing up in Hamilton, on the Niagara Escarpment. That might be different now, thanks to Nicola Ross and her book, 40 Days & 40 Hikes. Listen to our conversation this week on the show!
