Recognizing the best of Canadian fiction written <em>in english</em>.
<small>Canadian best-ofs that only feature english content, or alleged "national" newspapers that don't publish in la langue du Moliere, are one of this pedants many bete-noires.</small>comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.96372-3313854Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:32:08 -0800docgonzoBy: docgonzo

Augh. This has been a terrible year for lit awards. Booker and Giller both had terrific longlists, then pruned everything good.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.96372-3313879Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:59:23 -0800SchlimmbesserungBy: bitteroldman

Care to be specific? I hadn't read anything on either long list and would like some recommendations.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.96372-3314047Tue, 05 Oct 2010 23:15:58 -0800bobo123By: philip-random

TBH, I've only heard of one of these, and even then just vaguely.
Reading the descriptions, umm, well, I'm sure they call out to <em>someone</em>. Someone who's not me. Not saying they're not good, just saying I'm unlikely ever to find out for myself.comment:www.metafilter.com,2010:site.96372-3314250Wed, 06 Oct 2010 06:53:04 -0800Capt. Renault
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
