If you walk by Type Books on Queen Street West this month, you’ll notice a March Madness–style bracket hanging in their window.

Sixty-four novels are outfitted in four divisions: Canadian literature, American literature, British literature, and world literature, with each title going head-to-head in true March Madness style. Eventually, the sixty-four titles will be reduced to one, which will be the “Books of the Decade” champion.
