    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.

It has been deemed “ferocious,” “a death-defying linguistic tightrope act,” and a combination of “dark and spiky emotions” in reviews appearing in popular newspapers. Taking the considerable critical investment in the affective dimension of Ferrante’s work as a point of departure, my dissertation examines the representation of emotions in My Brilliant Friend and in two Italian novels written between the 1960s and the 1970s – La Storia (1974, History: A Novel) by Elsa Morante (1912-1985) and L’arte della gioia (The Art of Joy, 1998/2008) by Goliarda Sapienza (1924-1996).

  • Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018 Where to Begin? with a Heartbeat
    Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018 Where to begin? With a heartbeat. A word. An image. Fall 2018. A season of provocation, of entertainment, of complete absorption. A season of ideas. And of emotion. “This is where the heart of feminism beats.” — Annie Lennox on Powered by Love This fall our selection of new titles includes books destined for everyone’s reading list: a provocative (and yes, decidedly controversial) book on the myths of mammography by investigative journalist Renée Pellerin; a memoir of a river by one of Canada’s best nature writers, Wayne Curtis; and the first of two volumes on the Great Trail by hiker extraordinaire Michael Haynes. “Blunt, honest and well-researched.” — Flurt on F-Bomb Readers will be entranced by fabled lawman Strother Purcell in Ian Weir’s deadpan revisionist western and pulled into the undertow of history in Paul Carlucci’s ravaged high-rise of the north. In icehouse poetry, renowned poet Patricia Young and first-book author Dominque Bernier-Cormier will encourage readers to cast their gaze on a pungent, pulsating universe. Full stop. And then, with much ado, we’ll unveil a dazzling array of illustrated books, including three distinctive books of photography. ...Everything Remains Raw records the evolution of the Toronto hip hop scene through graffiti, magazine shoots, and behind-the-scenes documentary photographs. The Lost City documents the vanished neighbourhoods of Saint John razed by the progress of “urban development” in arresting, black-and-white photographs by Ian MacEachern. In One Wave, Ned Pratt transforms the Newfoundland landscape into distillations of form and colour — without a hint of nostalgia.

  • 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.

DECEMBER 19-A political revolution is unfolding in the German Democratic Republic (DDR). The leadership of the ruling Stalinist party is in retreat. Plans are afoot to "dissolve" the Stasi, the hated secret police. Within the army, soldiers councils are beginning to form. Meanwhile, the West German financiers and industrialists are on a hard course toward capitalist reunification of Ger­ many, with the Socialist Party (SPD) acting as their "left" lieutenants, and outright fascists increasingly active in the DDR as the shock troops of capitalist reaction. An East German workers state under thc democratic, internationalist rule of workers councils-soviets-could be the springboard for a united red Germany and a Socialist United States of Europe, Reunification of Germany on a capital­ ist basis under Helmut Kohl's Fourth Reich means bloody counterrevolution, a resurgence of fascism and the danger Der Spiegel of a third world war.

This conclusion is reached by examining recent empirical evidence on the extent of inward and outward foreign investment, ownership links between large financial corporations and large industrial corporations, and the size and composition of manufacturing production and trade.
