Miraculous Cures

The Giller Prize was founded in 1994 to honour the memory of the late Doris Giller, an outstanding literary journalist who died of cancer in April 1993. Her husband founded the Giller Prize and was assisted by several friends - most notably the late Mordecai Richler, author Alice Munro, and academician David Staines - in building the Prize's creative template. It is the first ever co-sponsorship for Canada’s richest literary award for fiction. One of the shortlist books is a guaranteed good read for bookworm in the family. They most likely will not have any of the books because they were just released this month. The Giller Prize winner for 2006 was Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures.
