LITERARY PRESS GROUP 2016 ACADEMIC CATALOGUE {} Welcome Th eLiterary Press Group is a collective of 60 independent Canadian literary presses, all of whom work tirelessly to introduce and support incredibly diverse voices that keep the Canadian literary scene vital, fresh, and interesting. When you choose a course text from an LPG publisher, you’re choosing to support some of the hardest working people in the Canadian publishing industry. Th at’s because, for our members, publishing is a labour of love. Although they each have a unique mandate, our publishers share a commitment to introducing new authors and new ideas to a literary scene that is overrun with the same voices and the same information. Our publishers are the ones saying yes to debut writers, yes to experimental works, yes to diverse authors and writing. Th ey are taking risks and supporting authors who are outside of the mainstream. And when they’re not bringing you something completely new, they are reissuing important literary texts that are out-of-print and/or diffi cult to source. In this catalogue you’ll fi nd 125 potential course texts from 27 of our members, and this is just a sample of what’s available. New poetry and fi ction, drama and theatre history, literary theory and essays on culture—together our members’ books provide you with an unrivalled selection of contemporary Canadian thought and creativity. Keep up with what our members are publishing all the time on our new online platform, All Lit Up. Discover and purchase the best print and e-books our members have to off er. We also have great exclusive behind-the-scenes content on our blog about the books, authors, and publishers whose work is available on our site. For a full listing of our members, see www.lpg.ca/publishers.

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.
