With an emphasis on the fantastic work coming out of Canada's small presses — reviewed from perspectives you don't read every day — book lounge reviews range from the short and punchy, giving you a glimpse of what's between the covers, to in-depth featured reviews that engage with the ideas on offer so you can too. Top notch books, top notch writers, top notch thinking.
