Rawi Hage and the IMPAC, plus some Giller things
Submitted by Nathan Whitlock 2008 on June 13, 2008 - 10:53am
As you've probably heard, Montrealer Rawi Hage won the Dublin IMPAC for his first novel, De Niro's Game (House of Anansi Press).
It's an astonishing and deserved win. Congratulations, Rawi.
Read a profile of Hage from the new issue of Quill & Quire (shameless day-job plug) here.
For more Hage-related reading, feel free to go waaayy back to 2006 for a discussion of the Giller Prize that year. (Hage was nominated, but lost out to Vincent Lam.)
And if that whets your appetite for lengthy Giller diatribes, then read this essay by Alex Good.
