Elizabeth Hay has a new fan: right-wing political commentator Barry Cooper. In a Calgary Herald column this week devoted to the ever-popular subject of summer reading, Cooper recommends Hay’s Late Nights on Air.
It’s easy to dismiss this story of people working at the CBC as a nostalgic, professionally Canadian, faux nationalist cliche.
It’s not.
Nice to see that book finally getting a little attention. But don’t worry, Cooper isn’t getting soft or anything:
If love and death push Late Nights in the direction of chick lit, my second suggestion, Ghost: Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent, by Fred Burton, is definitely a guy book.
Whew!
