As I posted on Facebook, I will admit that my hands shook for a while after learning the news that my book, Epistolophilia: Writing the Life of Ona \u0160imait\u0117 <\/a><\/em>has been long-listed for the Charles Taylor Prize in Literary Non-Fiction. It’s an enormous honour.<\/p>\n

THE CHARLES TAYLOR PRIZE commemorates Charles Taylor\u2019s pursuit of excellence in the \ufb01eld of literary non-\ufb01ction. The prize will be awarded to the author whose book best combines a superb command of the English language, an elegance of style, and a subtlety of thought and perception. The prize consists of $25,000 for the winner and $2,000 for each of the runners up as well as promotional support to help all shortlisted books stand out in the national media, bookstores, and libraries. Authors whose books have been shortlisted for the prize will be brought to Toronto for the awards ceremony. The winner will be invited to read at the International Festival of Authors, held in October at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
