Kyo Maclear's favourite books of 2017 were Boundless and The Wound is a World
Happy holidays! CBC Books asked authors to share their favourite books of 2017. We will be publishing these recommendations throughout December.
Kyo Maclear chose Jillian Tamaki's Boundless and Billy-Ray Belcourt's This Wound is a World.
"Both Tamaki and Belcourt are whip-smart world builders, who understand shaky un-bordered feelings and who reject easy redemptive arcs, but somehow create work jolted with hope."
