What is the greatest Canadian novel of all time?

Here at The Next Chapter, we read Canadian all year long. But to help celebrate Canada Day, we’re asking what makes a book a Canadian classic. To help answer this question, we’ve called upon CBC Books producer Bridget Raymundo and lifelong bookseller Nathan Maharaj. They discuss their favourite Canadian novels of all-time, and what makes a book relevant for generations to come. They also present one title that they think has what it takes to become a future Canadian classic. Plus, musician Brettyn Rose talks about songwriting and recommends one of her favourite books.Books discussed on this week's show include:Autobiography of Red by Anne CarsonThe Stone Angel by Margaret LaurenceIn the Upper Country by Kai ThomasHeated Rivalry by Rachel ReidThe Great Alone by Kristin HannahCheck us out on Instagram @cbcbooks and TikTok @cbcbooks
