Giller Update

Elizabeth Hay won the 2007 Scotiabank Giller Prize last night for Late Nights on Air.

That means a $40,000 cheque and prime placing in bookstores.

Oh, and apparently Margaret Atwood and her husband Graeme Gibson protested the Giller dinner. Not by, you know, not showing up. But by bringing bagged meals and sake (because nothing says F-you to corporations like getting buzzed on booze you paid for).

The protest was against the Four Seasons for building a complex in Granada that will threaten local birds (in case anyone was wondering).
