The (1994–2004) and 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 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

was given to each of the other finalists.5 Beginning in 2014 the prize was again doubled, with $100,000 going to the winner and $10,000 to each finalist.6 Since the award’s inception, all finalists have also received specially bound copies of their books. The significant size of the awards has served not only as recognition of the importance of Canadian fiction but also as an incentive for other literary awards to increase the size of their prizes. Each year a three-member jury selects the winning book from a publicly announced short list of five or six nominees. Since 2006 a preliminary long list of nominees has also been made public.7 In 2011 a Reader’s Choice selection was incorporated into the long list.8 (In 2012 the Reader’s Choice competition was held a second time, but independently of the Giller nomination process.9) Since 1998, the black-tie award gala at which award winners receive their prizes has been broadcast regularly on national television. As Rabinovitch reports, the purpose of the broadcasts has been not just to help publicize the prize, but also to help authors “sell more books.”10 Since 1994, two anthologies have appeared honouring Giller Prize award winners. The first was entitled Prize Writing: The 10th Anniversary Collection, and was edited by Gary Stephen Ross (Toronto: The Giller Prize Foundation). It appeared in a paperback trade edition in 2003 (isbn 1-55245-133-X). The second was entitled The Scotiabank Giller Prize – 15 Years: An Anthology of Prize-Winning Canadian Fiction, with an introduction by Jack Rabinovitch (Toronto: Penguin Canada). It appeared in a hardcover trade edition in 2008

(isbn 978-0-670-06802-9) and in a leather-bound presentation edition that same year (isbn 978-0-670-06983-5). Over the past twenty-one years, two authors have won the award twice (M.G. Vassanji in 1994 and 2003, and in 1998 and 2004). Only once has the prize been given to multiple authors ( and in 2000). The following list contains bibliographical information about all winning books from 1994 to 2014. A unique reference number accompanies each title. For example, the number G1-1994.p, which accompanies Vassanji’s The Book of Secrets, indicates that this book was the first Giller winner, G1; that it won in 1994; and that it was originally issued in paperback, p (or alternatively in hardcover, h). Background information has been gathered from the following collections:
