And the Giller Prize goes to...


Elizabeth Hay wins Canada's big literary prize for her novel Late Nights On Air. I'm quite amused however that in the midst of all the Canadian media coverage, it took the U.K's Guardian to report on Margaret Atwood's boycott of the fancy meal at the hotel where the awards event took place. You can read why here.
