The Canada Council for the Arts named the 70 finalists across seven categories in both English and French on Wednesday. The 14 winners, who each receive $25,000, will be announced on Nov. 16.
Toronto-based Heti is nominated in the English-language fiction category for "Pure Colour," her new novel about “art, love, death and time." The book, published by Knopf Canada, was longlisted for this year's Scotiabank Giller Prize.
Also among the fiction finalists are Cree-Métis writer Lisa Bird-Wilson's "Probably Ruby," about an adopted woman's search for her Indigenous identity, published by Doubleday Canada, and Hamilton writer Sheila Murray's "Finding Edward," which weaves the parallel stories of two biracial Black men across decades, published by Cormorant Books.
Montreal writer and editor David Bradford, a finalist for the 2022 Griffin Poetry Prize, is also in the running with his multimedia meditation on intergenerational trauma, "Dream of No One but Myself," from Brick Books. Canada-born author Rebecca Donner is recognized for "All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days: The True Story of the American Woman at the Heart of the German Resistance to Hitler." The title, published by Little, Brown and Company, has won U.S. accolades including the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography and the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography.
