Earlier today, the shortlist for the 2016 Giller Prize was announced in Canada.
The shortlisted titles are:
- 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad
- Yiddish for Pirates by Gary Barwin
- The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
- The Party Wall by Catherine Leroux
- Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien
- The Best Kind of People by Zoe Whittall
I plan on reviewing all the titles as part of my participation in the Shadow Giller jury. Do keep coming back to this post as I will update the hyperlinks above as and when I review each title.
The winner of the $100,000 prize will be announced on 7 November. The Shadow Giller will name our winner a couple of days beforehand.
I’m absolutely loving Do Not Say We Have Nothing. It’s one I have to concentrate on but it’s worth it & suspect it will at least win one of the prizes it’s shortlisted for.
