CS Richardson is longlisted for the 2023 Scotiabank Giller Prize
CS Richardson is longlisted for the 2023 Scotiabank Giller Prize for his stunningly beautiful novel, ALL THE COLOUR in the world, the story of the restorative power of art in one man’s life, set against the sweep of the twentieth century.
Jury Quote for the 2023 Longlist:
“…These books made the jury think about them long afterward; sometimes they haunted us, sometimes they were like earworms we couldn’t stop singing. Stylistically, they dressed up, they stripped down. They were drunk with life, they were sobering. They pushed pleasure on us even while they occasionally provoked and puzzled us. This longlist is unafraid of being censored or misunderstood. The writers ask for our patience and sophistication; they stand up against all threats, AI included, and remind us of the unmatchable power of the human imagination.” —2023 Giller Prize Jury
The Scotiabank Giller Prize shortlist will be announced on Wednesday, October 11, 2023
