Endling brings dark humour to the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Ukrainian-Canadian writer Maria Reva published her first novel, Endling, this summer. The absurdist novel follows a Ukrainian snail scientist who gets involved with two sisters trying to take down the country's marriage industry — all while the Russian invasion of Ukraine begins.
Endling swiftly made the longlist for the Booker Prize, an international award worth over $90,000. Only a handful of Canadians have ever won: Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje and Yann Martel.
Today on Commotion, guest host Ali Hassan speaks with culture critic Carole V. Bell about why she loves Endling.
Interview with Carole V. Bell produced by Jane van Koeverden.
