More Books

This time from Canada. Brought over by Anne. Canadian authors, of course.

Three by Margaret Atwood, two of them non-fiction that I’d specifically asked for, while the third is a bonus, that Anne saw and thought I might like.

The lone non-Atwood book is by Wayson Choy, a Canadian Chinese author I’d discovered while browsing at a bookstore in either Toronto or Vancouver in 1997. It’s the same title – The Jade Peony – as the one I bought in 1997 which, for some reason, I gave away as a token of friendship that I now recognise as plain silly.

In return, Anne got from me autographed copies of Dina Zaman’s I Am Muslim and Kam Raslan’s Confessions of an Old Boy.
