CS Richardson is shortlisted for the 2023 Scotiabank Giller Prize
CS Richardson is now shortlisted for the 2023 Scotiabank Giller Prize for his brilliant novel, ALL THE COLOUR IN THE WORLD.
Jury Citation
“With stunning restraint and pathos, CS Richardson has given us a portrait of one man’s journey of the soul — across decades and continents, through loss and grief and hope. Both sweeping and minimalist, All the Colour in the World is Woolfian in its brushstrokes. Quiet moments of being are given as much weight as the chaos of war, and notes on the long history of art balance the depiction of one individual life. As much poetry and mosaic as it is a novel, with not a word out of place, this book is a triumph — a masterclass in how to paint an entire world.” —2023 Scotiabank Giller Prize Jury
The winners will be announced on November 13, 2023.
