Giller Prize 2024 Shortlist Announced Amid Sponsorship Controversy

Five authors are in the running for Canada's prestigious literary award, with the winner to be revealed on November 18.

The 2024 Giller Prize shortlist includes Conor Kerr, Anne Michaels, Éric Chacour, Deepa Rajagopalan, and Anne Fleming.
Conor Kerr's 'Prairie Edge' and Éric Chacour's 'What I Know About You' are also contenders for the Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize
The prize has faced controversy due to its former lead sponsor Scotiabank's investment in an Israeli arms manufacturer, leading to numerous authors withdrawing their books from consideration.
Two jurors resigned over the decision to maintain Scotiabank as a sponsor, with the selection process continuing with only three Canadian judges.
The Giller Prize, established in 1994, dropped Scotiabank from its name last month to refocus attention on the authors.
