Kim’s Convenience star Paul Sun-Hyung Lee will champion the novel Hench by Natalie Zina Walshots on Canada Reads 2021. Ahead of the debates, Paul and Natalie got together virtually to discuss this moving novel and the great Canadian book debate.

Hench is a novel about Anna, a woman who pays the bills by doing administrative work for villains. But when an incident involving the world's most popular superhero leaves her injured and gets her fired, Anna realizes what happened to her isn't unique — and she might have the means to take down the so-called hero who hurt her. How? With every office worker's secret weapon: data.

The 2021 champions and their chosen books are:

Olympian and broadcaster Rosey Edeh champions The Midnight Bargain by C.L. Polk
Singer-songwriter Scott Helman champions Two Trees Make a Forest by Jessica J. Lee
Actor and filmmaker Devery Jacobs champions Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead
Actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee champions Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Chef, recording artist and TV host Roger Mooking champions Butter Honey Pig Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi

The debates take place March 8-11, 2021, and will be hosted by Ali Hassan. Canada Reads will be broadcast on CBC Radio One, CBC TV, CBC Gem and on CBC Books.
