Without fail, the winner of the annual Scotiabank Giller Prize becomes a household name in Canada. Those shortlisted also step into the proverbial CanLit Hall of Fame, their titles splashed across best-of lists for good reason. No wonder the Giller shortlist has become a staple of many bibliophiles’ reading lists. We’re delighted to celebrate these visionary authors to kick off the Festival with the cross-Canada Between the Pages tour. Find out who’ll be on stage when the shortlist is announced on October 11th! Stay tuned for the full lineup of authors. Moderated by Leslie Hurtig.
