    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.

Although Charles Boatman’s suicide lies at the centre of the narrative, Dthe novel — and Charles himself — is also haunted by other deaths: the death of Charles’s ex-wife, Sara, the deaths of innocents in Vietnam, and the deaths of animals. It rotates around various absences and, as is frequently the case in Bergen’s fiction, highlights individual suffering and alienation within the family unit1: Charles returns to Vietnam in the hope of ascribing meaning to the “great field of nothing” that he has experienced since the war (38), while two of his children, Ada and Jon, travel to Vietnam to search for their missing father only to discover he has committed suicide.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis will prove that the Montreal reform movement arose out of a desire of the richer wards to control municipal politics. The poorer wards received most of the public works because they were organized into a political machine. Calling for an end to dishonesty and extravagance, the reform movement took on a party form. However after the leader of the machine retired from municipal politics, the movement lost its momentum. The reform movement eventually became identified as an anti-trust movement. The gas, electricity, and tramway utilities had usually obtained any contracts they wished, but the reformers put an end to this.

Copyright : 2012, Resource Links Contemporary Canadian Adult Books for Strong Teen Readers by Margaret Mackey with Gail de Vos, Heather Ganshorn, Ingrid Johnston, Jill Kedersha McClay, and Kristine Moruzi With this column, our eighteenth in an ongoing annual series, we present our pick of contemporary Canadian adult publishing that we believe has the potential to appeal to strong teenage readers. We began this work in 1996 believing that good teen readers were seriously under-served when it came to reading advice. Where should they go when they begin to come to the end of the road with young adult literature (as wonderful as much of that literature undoubtedly is)? Who provides guidance on the kinds of adult materials that might speak to a teenager? We saw a vacuum, and we have made efforts to step into that empty space ever since. As usual, our main selection criterion is that the book should have some kind of youth appeal. Middle-age crises need not apply to appear on these pages. We do not screen for strong language or graphic sex or violence; we assume that a confident teenage reader will not hesitate to put down a book if it does not appeal, for whatever reason.

I open with a history of the trope of deformity and a theory on its applicability to questions of the nation in Canadian fiction. Bonnie Burnard’s A Good House begins the literary analysis and considers how Daphne’s asymmetrical face exemplifies the novel’s overarching deformation of the domestic realist text.

  • Quality Journalism: How Montreal's Quality Dailies
    Quality Journalism: How Montreal’s Quality Dailies Presented the News During the First World War by Gregory Marchand A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History Joint-Masters Program University of Manitoba/ University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2014 by Gregory Marchand Marchand i Abstract A careful examination of reporting during the First World War by Montreal’s two most respected daily newspapers shows that these newspapers articulated divergent messages about the war and domestic events. Each newspaper had its own political affiliations, and even though they were not always apparent, they were always present, influencing the ways in which each paper approached the war. Each paper’s editorial staff had previously tailored their output to what they perceived to be the tastes and interests of their middle class and elite readerships. This thesis argues that during the First World War, Le Devoir refused to be limited by the traditional impassive reporting style of Montreal’s managerial class newspapers, but the Montreal Gazette did not. Where Le Devoir became more defiant and aggressive in its defence of Francophone rights, the Gazette managed to appear more detached even as it reported the same events. This divergence is important because it represents a larger pattern of wartime change taking place as quality dailies gambled their reputations on the ideals of their owners and editors. Each newspaper carefully constructed their attempts to influence public opinion, but where Le Devoir was responding to what it considered a crisis, the Gazette’s interests and alliances mandated loyalty and a calmer tone.
