Congratulations to Elizabeth Hay who won this year’s Giller Prize.
Her novel Late Nights on Air is set in a small northern town at the the local radio station. It sounds like a comical book and it’s on my reading list.
At the moment though I’m reading another Giller nominee (on the longlist) and a Governor General’s nominee (on the shortlist). It’s Soucouyant by David Chariandy.
This is a novel about forgetting and remembering. The narrator returns to his childhood home to help his aging mother through dementia. It could become sad and dark, but I find it very funny (and revealing).
It’s been a long day, that’s all I’ve got right now. Goodnight all.
