THE GG

The GG. Winners of the Governor General’s Award will be announced on Tuesday, November 27. In the running for fiction are: David Chariandy for Soucouyant; Barbara Gowdy for Helpless; Michael Ondaatje for Divisadero; Heather O’Neill, for Lullabies for Little Criminals and M.G.Vassanji for The Assassin’s Song. I have read none of these books but have read, with pleasure, other books by Vassanji, Gowdy and Ondaatje. I have met several pople who have enjoyed Lullabies for Little Criminals.

A big thank you to THUNDER BAY TELEPHONE for its support of the arts in Thunder Bay. There is probably no other major company in the city which has given artistic events so much support. Along this line, we mention the Thunder Bay Public Library for their unfailing support of book clubs and writers’ groups. If you want to say thank you to an organization in Thunder Bay that has supported the arts, leave a comment..
