Gail Scott's The Obituary is Shortlisted for the Grand Prix du livre de Montréal

Gail Scott's The Obituary is one of five finalists - selected from a list of roughly 200 candidates - for the 2011 Grand Prix du livre de Montréal. Scott's book combines elements of the whodunnit and the ghost story into a work that is wildly experimental, sweeping in scope and incisive in its political and social commentary.

The final winner will be announced on November 14th.

Congratulations, Gail. Beautifully done!
