The long list for Canada's Scotiabank Giller Prize was announced this morning. Here are the finalists:

• Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood (McClelland & Stewart)
• Martha Baillie, The Incident Report (Pedlar Press)
• Kim Echlin, The Disappeared (Penguin Canada)
• Claire Holden Rothman, The Heart Specialist (Cormorant Books)

• Anne Michaels, The Winter Vault (McClelland & Stewart)
• Shani Mootoo, Valmiki’s Daughter (House of Anansi Press)
• Kate Pullinger, The Mistress of Nothing (McArthur & Company)

The Giller Prize is awarded annually to "the author of the best Canadian novel or short story collection published in English" ; the works of its finalists are often of interest to our patrons, as we are so close to the Canadian border.

 

Presently, many of the works are not available in the US, but the Library has the books by Atwood, Jiles, McAdam, and Michaels available for our patrons, with several others are on their way.
