The year that was

Journalist Aida Edemariam provides a pithy summary of the year in Canadian publishing in her “Toronto Diary” column on The Guardian website. Edemariam covers all the major stories, including the success of Mariam Toews’s A Complicated Kindness and the Greg Gatenby $2-million book auction. She also takes a stab at the appointing of Canada’s new poet laureate, Pauline Michel, who Edemariam claims has “admitted to not being able to name a single English-Canadian poet (apart from Leonard Cohen, that is).”
