And the winner of the 2020 Giller Prize is How to Pronounce Knife by Souvankham Thammavongsa. She also won the " Shadow Giller" ( a group of book bloggers decide who they think should win and post a day before the actual award). The ceremony was of course virtual although someone did knock on the author's door and bring her the award.

Thank you for posting about this Canadian prize. I've added the winner to my wish list for next year.
