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.

  • The Canadian Writer & the Iowa Experience
    THE CANADIAN WRITER & THE IOWA EXPERIENCE Anthony Bukoski Τ PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TWO-FOLD: to try to piece together from interviewlHsE and correspondence I have had with a number of Canadian authors — twenty-seven to be exact — a sort of general history, a chronological overview of their involvement in the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and to try to assess the significance of that involvement not only to the writers them- selves but to Canadian literature in general. I intend hedging a bit by including some writers who became Canadians only after leaving Iowa.1 Could so many writers have studied at the same institution in the United States without its having left some mark? What attitudes about teaching creative writing or the commitment to the writer's life and craft did they form? Given the method of Workshop investigation, the fragile egos of most young writers, and the fact that the Workshop is in another country, not all of them profited from the experi- ence of studying at Iowa. Speaking of her experiences there in the late 1950's, for instance, Carol Johnson, who teaches at the University of Victoria, noted, "Writ- ers on the whole seem notorious for their unhappiness. Legends of particularly unhappy types prevailed [though not necessarily Canadians]. Since writers are apparently predisposed to neurosis, it would be safe to assume that most of them would be unhappy anywhere."2 Those who were satisfied found the programme valuable, the atmosphere con- ducive to work — though perhaps neither so attractive nor congenial as the main character finds Iowa in W.

  • Ties a Canadian Flag Remarkably Close to the One Chosen Two Decades Later
    I91 Books in Review buildings, Nobbs designed furniture, coins, letterhead, tombstones, and in the for- ties a Canadian flag remarkably close to the one chosen two decades later. We dis- cover a consistency of philosophy. Nobbs's conviction that 'regionalism in architec- ture was inevitable and therefore a sensible source of inspiration ...,' is paralleled by Traquair's belief that 'architecture is a matter of building to meet real needs with real materials in a real place and therefore regional both from the point of view of its making and its meaning.' One wonders what they would make of the faddish homo- geneity all too evident in today's big cities. All men of strong views and personali- ties, Traquair in particular seems to have been a maverick. 'I think,' wrote a col- league, 'he is our most scholarly yet least academic member ...,' an accolade many would still be pleased to receive. He himself strove to make the architectural curric- ulum as eclectic as possible. 'The longer I work at it the vaguer my ideas become upon standardization....' He went so far as to remark that he would be 'very sorry indeed if the university training ever came to be regarded as the only entrance to the profession.' Physically these are attractive volumes. Care has obviously been taken with the choice of illustration. The pages are well laid out, the elements of each record are distinct, and the font is clear and readable. The inevitable typographical errors are few in number, and do not detract from a favourable overall imipression. If this reviewer has a concern it is a question of durability.

  • Swept Under: Reading the Stories of Two Undervalued Maritime Writers
    Swept Under: Reading the Stories of Two Undervalued Maritime Writers David Creelman n the past ten years, fiction from the Maritime provinces has topped bestseller lists across North America and Europe. Alistair MacLeod’s No Great Mischief, David Adams Richards’s Mercy amongI the Children, and Ann-Marie MacDonald’s Fall on Your Knees have enjoyed international success and have stimulated interest in the fictions being produced in the Maritime region. But if some novels have broken through and attained critical acclaim and popular suc- cess, other Maritime texts have slipped into comparative obscurity. Of course, not every text deserves a wide readership. Maritime writers have been just as prolific in their production of clichéd or pedestrian fictions as the writers of any other region, and there are many mediocre novels that fittingly fade into the shadows. But there are other texts, works of unusual beauty or complexity, that have not received the recogni- tion they deserve. Susan Kerslake’s first two novels, Middlewatch and Penumbra, and Lesley Choyce’s The Republic of Nothing have not won wide critical attention or public interest, though each text is intricate and engaging, both aesthetically and ideologically. The reasons why these novels have been swept aside, or swept under, are complex; how- ever, three factors can be identified as having shaped their reception and reputation. First, they were published by small presses that have had to labour under difficult circumstances to push their product into the Canadian market. Second, the style and mode of the fictions set them outside the mainstream of popular readership.

  • Hunter, Adult Adolescent, and Wounded Warlock Hunter, Adult Adolescent, and Wounded Warlock: Images of Men in English-Canadian Women's Fiction (1960-93)
    HUNTER, ADULT ADOLESCENT, AND WOUNDED WARLOCK HUNTER, ADULT ADOLESCENT, AND WOUNDED WARLOCK: IMAGES OF MEN IN ENGLISH-CANADIAN WOMEN'S FICTION (1960-93) JANINA CAMILLE HORNOSTY, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University Copyright by Janina Camille Hornosty, May 1994 ii. Doctor of Philosophy (English) McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada TITLE: Hunter, Adult Adolescent, and Wounded Warlock: Images of Men in English-Canadian Women's Fiction (1960-93) AUTHOR: Janina C. Hornosty, 8.A. (McMaster University) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Joan Coldwell NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 259 iii. Abstract Although the fiction written by women in English-Canada since the 1960's has experimented widely with literary form, a remarkably consistent set of - literary archetypes of masculinity emerges from their work. I have named the three particularly vivid and pervasive images of men on which I focus, the Hunter, the Adult Adolescent, and the Wounded Warlock. My project is essentially a sketching out of these beings, a contouring of their recurring literary reality. Tori! Moi rightly criticizes the project of evaluating literary images of women in terms of their true or false relation to 'real life' as one that "resolutely refuses to consider textual production as a highly complex, 'over­ determined' process with many different and conflicting literary and non­ literary determinants" (Moi 45). In looking at the images of men that dominate Canadian women's writing, I do not wish to claim that these images are 'true' or 'false', but simply that they exist in the literature.
