This well written novel has everything: Chinese communist struggle sessions, classical music, Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution, the love of family, and so much more. A dense and fascinated read. #GGBooks. I listened to Bach’s Goldberg Variations as I read.

Against a backdrop of cedar, a hand holds up Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon, translated by Jessica Moore. A big sticker is above the mid line to the right declaring it to be a GGBooks Winner. The cover is of a painted treescape reflecting into water, but the reflection is a city. Across the top it reads "Uiesh / Somewhere. Poems." Across the middle it reads Dual-Language Edition in Innu-aimun and English. Across the bottom it reads "Joséphine Bacon. Translated from the French by Jessica Moore."
Pictured here: Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon and translated by Jessica Moore looking so snazzy wearing its new #GGBooks sticker! 🤩

This #VWF2024 event was organized in collaboration with the Canada Council for the Arts to celebrate the finalists and winners of the Governor General’s Literary Awards #ggbooks #ggbooks2024 and presented in partnership with Hogan’s Alley Society.
Live recordings of @moniquetruong.bsky.social and me as baby writers. If you are a bibliophile and don't already listen to @cinader.bsky.social's show, check it out. Resist book bans! In the wrong hands, "Watermark: Vietnamese American Poetry & Prose" would be on that list.

After a year when some Canadian literary prizes have turned their backs on Canadian writers, it's a balm to see the #GGBooks2023 shortlist announcement. These are Canada's national literary awards. Our own. And this year's shortlists are exciting!
