it's nice getting books from authors who boycott the giller, if i feel queasy it would be from the contents of the book, not from my sense of disgust at laundering one's art for genocide #BoycottGiller #CanLitResponds

Canada's advocates & authors #CanLitResponds mobilized to end the literary sector's complicity in the Gaza genocide. Many pulled books from consideration for the Giller Prize, demanding it sever ties with companies invested in Israel's murder of Palestinians. @laythco.bsky.social reports ⬇️

Stood beside others in solidarity. #noarmsinthearts
I hope the g1ller foundation is listening. Thanks to #canlitresponds for organizing!
Thanks to @farzanadoctor.bsky.social & others for reading at the anti-g1ller across the street.

It was chilly & I didn’t dress well, but there was hot chocolate!!

It will be interesting to see how the GF treats #canlitresponds authors moving forward.

It is the arts foundations that must make the moral & ethical decisions instead of attacking artists (& creating sides) when it is the authors risking everything in protest.
