The Giller Prize, Canada’s premier fiction award, has released it’s longlist. No fears as with the Booker that these names won’t be recognized. Some ‘Ninja favs in there, including Lawrence Hill, Michael Winter, and recently made ‘Ninja Barbara Gowdy. Also nice to see a few small press titles in there from the likes of Arsenal Pulp and Brindle and Glass. Should be interesting to see who makes the shortlist. Let the carping and speculation commence!

I’m delighted to see Alissa York on the list–I’m reading Effigy now and it’s stunning. I’ve been meaning to get at longer fiction by York since she won the Journey Prize in 1999, and I’m not the least bit disappointed.
What a list, though. I’m also a huge fan of Gowdy. Going to be a tough race!
