SF&F/CANADA/HEALTH: Waubegeshig Rice's Novel and the Pandemic

[dewline]

Waubgeshig Rice used to be a reporter with CBC's Ottawa news division until he moved back up to Sudbury to keep doing that work there. Somewhere along the way, he started writing books as a sideline, and his first SF novel, Moon Of the Crusted Snow, published two years ago, seems to have ended up being more predictive than he expected or planned.

I hope that it's still in print when this mess is over.

It’s an amazing novel but yeah, way too prescient.
