As the year draws to a close, CBC Books is asking Canadian writers to share their favourite books of 2018. Esi Edugyan is the author of the 2018 Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning Washington Black. The novel was also a finalist for the 2018 Man Booker Prize and the 2018 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize.
"I found Judi Rever's In Praise of Blood, a re-examination of the Rwandan genocide, harrowing and illuminating."
