What three CanLit leaders read in 2020
With independent bookstores at some stage of lockdown for much of 2020, readers missed out on the delight of discovery that comes from browsing their local shelves.
Q&Q wanted to replicate that experience in our weekly What We’re Reading series, in which we told you about some of the best books to cross our nightstands (the series ran in our newsletter, which you can subscribe to for free).
We were fortunate to have three great readers from outside the
Q&Q team chime in with recommendations of their own: the Writers’ Trust of Canada’s Charlie Foran, the Canadian Children’s Book Centre’s Rose Vespa, and Taylor Prize founder Noreen Taylor. These books gave them a much-needed moment of literary escape amid the strains of 2020.

Writer, documentary filmmaker and producer Jamaluddin Aram ’17 of Toronto recently was named one of three finalists for the 2020 Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers in the short fiction category for his story, “This Hard Easy Life.”
The prestigious award was established by the Writers’ Trust of Canada and is sponsored by the
Royal Bank of Canada.
The prizes are presented to authors under the age of 35 whose work has appeared in a literary publication or anthology but have yet to publish a book. Each finalist receives $2,500 and a mentorship from an established editor.
In selecting Aram’s piece, the jury said it “is as insightful as it is heartbreaking; a story about the ways in which even love itself can become a kind of prison. Through intimate detail, compelling prose, and quiet, emotionally devastating scenes, Jamaluddin Aram gives the reader a nuanced look at life before and after displacement.
