Canada’s Giller Prize for literature is ten years old. In a short time it has gained stature as a major literary prize that has elevated Canadian writers. “This year’s 10th anniversary edition of the Giller Prize will be broadcast live Tuesday in prime time on the CBC national network in addition to its regular home on Book TV, the first time it has had that level of exposure. Authors who have won the Giller have become internationally celebrated, and those on the short lists have gone from marginal to famous figures.”
