When this week's guest, Lynn Coady, won Canada's prestigious Giller Prize for her book of short stories,  Hellgoing, the comparisons to Alice Munro were probably inevitable. So it's fitting that the story Coady chose for this episode of the podcast is by Munro, and is one Coady says she's returned to again and again. "Save the Reaper," from The Love of a Good Woman, is a bit more menacing than the typical Munro story, though it makes us wonder if the menace is there in other Munro stories, too, just less obviously on the surface. We also talk to Coady about her own work, including her most recent novel,  Watching You Without Me, and why she decided she wanted to write a book about--and for--middle-aged women. If you like the show, and would like to have more of it in your life, you can subscribe to our Patreon for $5 a month and get access to our entire catalog of bonus episodes, including our new Hunt for the Worst Book of All Time, which has forced us to read books by Tucker Max, Danielle Steel, and Sean Penn.

Ep 376: Lynn Coady

Guess what? We've got Lynn Coady! We talk about her new novel, Watching You Without Me, writing bad men characters, writing  relationships between mothers and daughters, novel-writing vs. short-story writing, how it feels to go to a literary gala, and we play a little game of Would You Rather? Fall has settled over the land and there are literary festivals everywhere and we are coming to you 100% not live from a conference room on Granville Island during the Vancouver Writers' Fest.

084- Can't Lit - Lynn Coady

Lynn Coady, the Giller Prize winning author, has returned with a new novel, and it's already being called a departure from her back catalogue. The novel, "Watching You Without Me," is a thriller already being called "unsettling, compelling and perfectly brilliant." The story encompasses the life of Karen, who is in the middle of dealing with guilt and family. Lynn Coady stopped in to the Daybreak studio to chat with Russell Bowers.
