Miriam Toews’ lively and excellent novel, The Flying Troutmans, published by Knopf Canada, is the only Canadian work on the Orange Prize long list, announced today. Winner of last year’s Roger’s Writers Trust Fiction Prize, this was one of my favourite reads of last year. One of those books you fly through because it’s so much fun to read, and when the last page is done, you just want to start at the beginning again.
The Orange Prize is open to books written in English and published in England. The short list will be announced April 21st and the award given out on June 3rd.
Congrats and good luck Miriam!
