The Tiger by John Vaillant (Vintage Canada), defended by Anne-France Goldwater
John Vaillant, in Mexico on assignment for National Geographic, addressed the crowd by video. Vaillant says The Tiger, about a gameskeeper who goes to war against a predatory Siberian tiger, is really about the dilemma we face in our relationships with nature, and “how we share space.”
Host Jian Ghomeshi said Vaillant’s book received “massive public support” during the public nomination and voting stages of Canada Reads.
