Fifteen books are on the Canada Reads longlist for 2020.

From deeply personal memoirs to poetry and speculative fiction, this year's longlisted books speak to the theme: "One book to bring Canada into focus."

We're looking at Canada's 2020 vision. How do we move forward together? These books inspire readers to think twice about the lens through which they see themselves and Canada.
 

The final five books and their champions will be revealed on Jan. 22, 2020.

The debates will take place March 16-19, 2020 and will be hosted by Ali Hassan. The debates will be broadcast on CBC Radio One, CBC TV, CBC Gem and on CBC Books. 

Ticket information to attend the live debates will be announced on Jan. 22.
