Rebecca and Tara have the distinct honor of interviewing Omar El Akkad, author of the 2021 Scotiabank Giller Prize winner and the 2022 CBC's Canada Reads contender, What Strange Paradise.
Tara reminds us that she predicted What Strange Paradise will win. While Rebecca had to confess that she said it will go out on the second day because it's a top contender.
The debates are hosted by Ali Hassan and available on CBC Radio One, CBC TV, CBC Gem and on CBC Books.
