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

David Bergen’s novel (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&camp=15121&tag=somisguided-20&creative=330641&path=ASIN/0771011784/qid=1117503655/sr=8-11/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i11_xgl14) 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:

(http://www.quillandquire.com) 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.
