A couple of weeks ago, we noted that Colin McAdam had been shortlisted for the 2009 Scotiabank Giller Prize for Fall, his second novel. McAdam’s short story, “Red’s Warning” [illustration above, by Ryan Lake] was published in the Sept. issue of DRIVEN, and includes one of the characters from Fall.

The Giller shortlist has just been announced, and McAdam’s on it, meaning that he beat out no less august a name than Margaret Atwood to make it to the final round.

DRIVEN wants to congratulate McAdam on the nomination. We hope to be congratulating him on taking home the prize when it is announced at the big shindig on Nov. 10th.
