Giller Shortlist Released

Canada’s most prestigious literary award for fiction, the Scotiabank Giller Prize, named its five finalists Tuesday. “All the nominated books are novels – three by men, two by women – and of the five, three are by Ontario authors who have either won the Giller or been named to previous short lists. These include Toronto’s Michael Ondaatje… and M.G. Vassanji, a Torontonian and the only two-time Giller winner.”
