Wow - this is one of the most interesting Giller longlists in recent years. Lots of expected heavy hitters missing - Emma Donoghue, Alissa York, Camilla Gibb to name a few. I'm thrilled to see Tom Rachman's The Imperfectionists on the list though, as well as Avner Mandelman's The Debba. And it's nice to see the smaller presses get some recognition. Let the debates begin.
