David Bergen’s The Time in Between Wins the Giller Prize

David Bergen’s novel The Time In Between just won the Scotiabank Giller Prize. He’s got the prize, the glitzy TV spot, a $40,000 cheque, way to go David! The Giller is Canada’s richest fiction award.

David Bergen is a Winnipeg writer whose novel is about an American man who fought in the Vietnam War then returned many years later only to disappear. I’m a huge fan of the book and have made a couple of postings about The Time in Between already:

David Bergen Hits It Big with The Time In Between

Quill and Quire is reporting that Random House U.S. will publish the book on Dec. 6. It will be interesting to compare the McClelland & Stewart marketing campaign with the Random House U.S. campaign.

Congratulations to David Bergen.
