Those of you with long memories may recall that I was on the jury for the 2009 Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic.
Well, the names of the winners have just been released:
- Adult: The Gargoyle
by Andrew Davidson
- Young Adult: Little Brother
by Cory Doctorow
You can check out the shortlists and recommended reading lists here.
The two winning books are both amazing examples of fantastic fiction, both well worth reading. The rest of the shortlists and recommended reading lists are also worth checking out. Congratulations!
I would also like to say at this point that being on the jury was a fantastic experience and I would like to thank my fellow jurors (Barbara Berson, Ed Greenwood, Sandra Kasturi and Simon Rose) for contributing to such an amazing experience. Thanks.
