Canisia Lubrin’s “Code Noir” and Anne Fleming’s “Curiosities” are among the 15 books longlisted for the Carol Shields Prize for Fiction.
The US$150,000 award is the largest literary prize for women and non-binary authors, and both Americans and Canadians are eligible.
In addition to Fleming and Lubrin, whose books were both shortlisted for major literary awards last fall, other Canadian finalists include “Pale Shadows,” written by Dominique Fortier and translated by Rhonda Mullins, and “Naniki,” by Oonya Kempadoo.
“Cicada Summer” by Erica McKeen rounds out the five Canadian contenders.
American finalists include Miranda July’s “All Fours,” Rachel Kushner’s “Creation Lake” and Mubanga Kalimamukwento’s “Obligations to the Wounded.”
The five-book short list will be announced on April 3, and the award will be handed out on May 1, with each of the four runners-up receiving US$12,500.
