Albert audiences, we will be treated to Julian Di Castri defending What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad Natalie Joly defending Scarborough by Catherine Hernandez Brett Lamoureux defending Life in the City of Dirty Water by Clayton Thomas-Muller Kelsey Robbins defending Five Little Indians by Michelle Good and Ray Watkins defending Washington Black by Esi Edugyan.Ĭertainly, they are all excellent books, but only one can be crowned victorious.
