Assistant professor
Padma Viswanathan has been named to the long list of the 2014
Scotiabank Giller Prize for her novel
The Ever After of Ashwin Rao! The award recognizes excellence in Canadian fiction.
Said the judges: “We’re celebrating writers brave enough to change public discourse, generous with their empathy, offering deeply immersive experiences. Some delve into the sack of memory and retrieve the wisdom we need for our times, others turn the unfamiliar beloved. All are literary achievements we feel will touch and even transform you.” Congratulations, Padma!
