Tonight at 9pm on Bravo are the Scotiabank Giller Prize Awards. What is the Giller, you may be asking? It's a literary prize given to a Canadian author of a novel or short story collection published (in English) in the previous year. This year's short list include:
- Kim Echlin, The Disappeared
- Annabel Lyon, The Golden Mean
- Linden MacIntyre, The Bishop's Man
- Colin MacAdam, Fall
- Anne Michaels, The Winter's Vault
Are there no comedic or light hearted novels up for it because The Giller is like the Oscars, or simply because Canadians are incapable of creating any kind of art that is happy?
