The Scotiabank Giller Prize longlist unveiled

Call your bookie, dryclean your tux or dress, and prepare your conspiracy theories: the Giller longlist has been unveiled.

The 14 15 titles on the list, which will be whittled down to five on Oct. 9, are below. Just like last year, the list is a mix of the usual suspects and surprising newcomers, big presses and small. N.B.: the last three Q&Q cover stars – Michael Winter, Elizabeth Hay, and D.R. MacDonald – made the list.

Here’s the complete list, with links to Q&Q reviews and author profiles.

Watch Q&Q Omni for a full story later today.
