Ever
been "In the Skin of a Lion"?
CANADA READS is a project of
CBC Radio where one book is chosen for the nation to read
together. In April 2002, host
Mary Walsh led former prime
minister Kim
Campbell, actor Megan Follows, musician Steven Page of the
Barenaked Ladies and writers Leon Rooke and Nalo Hopkinson
on a competitive quest. They each defended their choice of
one work of Canadian fiction as the title all Canadians should
read. Each day, one book was voted off the list until a single
book remained: In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje,
as chosen by Steven Page. You can hear the discussion on the
Panel Discussion page and learn more
about the book by visiting the In the
Skin of a Lion page.
