Scotiabank Giller Prize Short List

While we are waiting for the results of the Man Booker Prize, (they come out Oct 18th!)  we can look over the just released short list for the Giller Prize.

The Giller prize is for the best Canadian novel, published in English, across the country - sorry Quebec. Two of the books may look familiar. Both The Sister Brothers and Half Blood Blues were on the Man Booker short list.

Here is a link to Toronto Life Magazine, which gives a brief description of all the books. The winner will be announced November 8. Did I mention the prize was $50,000? Good luck to all the authors.
