New and notable releases this week include an Indigenous answer to ‘Roughing it in the Bush’ and the tale of a lawyer who lost two clients to hanging
And what an incredible story: as a very young, green lawyer, Mackay represented the last two people executed in Canada. He lost both cases, which were held just 19 days apart, and both of his clients were hanged at the Don Jail in Toronto. After that rather ignominious start, Mackay is remembered as a brilliant lawyer by the legal community. The Finder by Will Ferguson (Simon & Schuster) Sometimes the best fiction is rooted in truth. We Two Alone by Jack Wang (House of Anansi) Jack Wang’s first book was turned down by Anansi 18 years ago.
