The quiet terror of Foe: why Actor Josh Dela Cruz is bringing it to Canada Reads

The next Canada Reads panellist and author pairing has joined the table. Actor and TV host Josh Dela Cruz will defend Iain Reid’s novel, Foe. It’s a psychological thriller set against a science fiction backdrop, and examines the nature of a domestic relationship in a climate-change-ravaged country. The eerie familiarity stuck with Dela Cruz well after he finished reading, and will make his case for why it's must-read material for Canadians during the debates in April. Plus, Juno-nominated musician Siibii shares the book they think should be required in classrooms. Books discussed on this week's show include: Foe by Iain Reid Mind's Eye: Stories from Whapmagoostui edited by Emily Masty & Susan Marshall Check us out on Instagram @cbcbooks and TikTok @cbcbooks
