    The Giller Prize (1994–2004) and Scotiabank Giller Prize (2005–2014): A Bibliography Andrew David Irvine* For the price of a meal in this town you can buy all the books. Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

    ITALIAN CANADIAN WRITING: THE DIFFERENCE A FEW DECADES MAKE* Linda Hutcheon** The article explores the changes in the last 40 years both in the language of Canadian ethnic literature itself and in its authors’ self-identifying as Italian Canadian in light of the deve- lopments of those years both in ‘identity politics’ and in Canada’s national sense of selfhood. En route it tests the usefulness of various labels used, over time, to identify these writings against the literary corpus produced for almost thirty years now by Nino Ricci, born and raised in Canada, by Italian immigrant parents. Scrittura italo-canadese: pochi decenni possono fare la differenza Il contributo analizza i cambiamenti che negli ultimi quaranta anni si sono verificati nel lin- guaggio, utilizzato per definire la letteratura etnica canadese, e nel modo in cui gli autori si sono identificati come italo-canadesi a fronte sia delle mutate politiche identitarie sia degli sviluppi nel senso nazionale di identità canadese, susseguitisi in quell’arco temporale. Per testare la validità delle varie etichette utilizzate via via per definire tale letteratura, viene esaminato il corpus letterario, ormai trentennale, prodotto da Nino Ricci, scrittore nato e cresciuto in Canada da genitori immigranti di origine italiana. To Begin With a Story In the mid-1990s – in another century and in another country – I was invited to participate in a panel dedicated to the topic of “Ethnicity and Writing/ Reading” at the annual conference of the Modern Language Association of * This article began life as the Pugliese-Zorzi Italian Canadian Studies Lecture presented in February 2018 to the Canadian Studies Program and the University College Alumni, Uni- versity of Toronto.

  • The Stakes Ben Sanders
    FEBRUARY 2018 The Stakes Ben Sanders An NYPD robbery detective uses his insider knowledge to rob criminals. The dazzling new stand-alone thriller from the bestselling author of American Blood and Marshall's Law. Description Rip-offs are a dangerous game, but NYPD robbery detective Miles Keller thinks he's found a good strategy: rip off rich New York criminals and then retire early, before word's out about his true identity. New town, new name, no worries. Retirement can't come soon enough, though. The NYPD is investigating him for the shooting of a hitman named Jack Deen, who was targeting Lucy Gates - a former police informant and Miles's ex-lover. Miles thinks shooting hitmen counts as altruism, but in any case a murder charge would make life difficult. He's ready to go to ground, but then Nina Stone reappears in his life. Nina is a fellow heist professional and the estranged wife of LA crime boss Charles Stone. Miles last saw her five years ago, when he was investigating her for bank robbery and looked the other way, for reasons he is still trying to figure out. Since then her life has grown more complicated: her husband wants her back, and he's dispatched his go-to gun thug to play repo man. Complicating matters is the fact that the gun thug in question is Bobby Deen, cousin of the dead Jack Deen - and Bobby wants vengeance. The stakes couldn't be higher, but Nina has an offer that could be lucrative. Maybe Miles can stick around a while longer and get the big payoff he's been waiting for? But luck has a way of running out and soon Miles is in way over his head.
