Let’s face it; Canada doesn’t have the best reputation for literature, aside from the stuffy fodder of literary academics. Our world-famous authors are few and far between, so unless you love Margaret Atwood or Yann Martel you might be SOL for discussing Canadian fiction at cocktail parties. As a remedy, here are 10 books by Canadian authors that don’t feature totem poles or majestic landscapes.
1. Sub Rosa by Amber Dawn
2. The Better Mother by Jen Sookfong Lee
3. Bitten by Kelley Armstrong
4. Not Wanted on the Voyage by Timothy Findley
5. Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen
6. Neuromancer by William Gibson
7. Sarah Binks by Paul Hiebert
8. Skinny by Ibi Kaslik
9. The Diviners by Margaret Laurence
10. Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O’Neill
