2015 Giller Prize shortlist

Here’s the official Giller Prize shortlist for this year:

Fifteen Dogs, by Andre Alexis

Arvida , by Samuel Archibald

Outline, by Rachel Cusk

Daydreams of Angels, by Heather O’Neill

Martin John, by Anakana Schofield

The Shadow Jury doesn’t have much to say about the choice: except for Kim’s reading of Fifteen Dogs (which she didn’t like at all) and Alison’s reading of Outline (which she liked), none of us have read the other three. I’m a bit surprised to see two short story collections, Archibald and O’Neill.

Now the serious work begins for the Shadow Jury. I’m hoping to get to the entire shortlist.
