Brother by David Chariandy
5.0

I’m using this book for the first time with my upper level English Lit upgrading class, and I’m glad I chose it—it’s provoking some excellent writing and discussion. Gorgeous prose, a quietly damning indictment of the racism baked into Canadian society and systems. It’s not a gratuitously violent book, but there is a scene that literally made me gasp out loud as I read it. Highly recommended.
