Litbloggers weigh in on Giller picks

A brief survey of responses to yesterday’s Giller shortlist announcement:

  • Bookninja argues that Marina Endicott’s Good to a Fault got the nod by advertising on Bookninja.com
  • Oddsmaker Pinnacle Sports places the smart money on Rawi Hage’s Cockroach
  • IFOA blogger Andrew Westoll feels bad that Nino Ricci and Steven Galloway were left off
  • Alberta librarian Peter Bailey bemoans the lack of Western Canadian nominees
  • angel guerra
