Toronto Book Awards

I wrote about literary cities some time ago now, but it seems appropriate to mention it again since the nominees for the Toronto Book Awards, given to a novel that evokes the city, were just announced this morning.

Congrats to:

Seán Cullen, for Prince of Neither Here nor There (Puffin Canada)
Carey Fagan, for Valentine's Fall (Cormorant Books)
Lauren Kirshner, for Where We Have to Go (McClelland and Stewart)
Mark Sinnett, for The Carnivore (ECW Press)
Dragan Todorovic, for Diary of Interrupted Days (Random House of Canada)

If you're in Toronto, there are lots of opportunities (three, anyway) to interact with these authors before the winner is announced on Oct. 14. The City of Toronto website has all the details.
