The shortlist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize once again includes a book published by Windsor's Biblioasis press.

Montreal-based Catherine Leroux's The Party Wall, translated by Lazer Lederhendler is a finalist for the $100,000 Giller prize. It's the second year in a row Biblioasis published a Giller finalist.

The Giller Prize is the most prestigious literary award in Canada.

"The Giller does wonders, especially for independent presses like ours, to expose these great, often under-recognized authors, like Catherine," said Grant Munroe, director of marketing and publicity at Biblioasis.
