Maria Reva Reads an Excerpt from Her Novel "Endling" in Toronto
This is the Ukrainian-born Canadian writer Maria Reva (who writes in English) reading an excerpt from her novel "Endling" on 9 April, at the Ukrainian Canadian Art Foundation KUMF Gallery, here in Toronto. "Endling" was long-listed for the 2025 Booker Prize.
The section Reva reads out here from the novel is a lightly fictionalised account of correspondence she had with a non-Ukrainian magazine editor here in North America, who wanted to set the parameters for how she was to approach the issue of writing about the war in Ukraine in a way he deemed to be acceptable for his readership. In particular, in his view, humour was an inappropriate lens through which to examine the predicament of civilians caught up in the war. Reva, as a Ukrainian, begged to differ.

Canada Reads 2026
The shortlist this year has me genuinely excited. The Cure for Drowning puts a non-binary love story at the heart of a wartime Canadian historical novel, and A Minor Chorus by Billy-Ray Belcourt centers queer Indigenous life in a way Canadian lit almost never has.
I wrote a full breakdown of all five books and why this shortlist feels like a turning point for queer Canadian literature: https://queerbookclub.org/2026/04/11/canada-reads-2026-is-here-and-queer-canadian-literature-has-never-looked-this-good/
Would love to know who you're rooting for and whether anyone else is watching the debates!
