Good luck to AC staffer and Newfoundland's own Michael
Crummey as he advances to the finals of the Commonwealth Writers Prize for his
novel Galore. Depicting multiple generations of two outport families divided by wealth, status and religion, Galore is described as a seamless melding of myth and history, "an epic masterpiece that is grounded in the folklore of a unique part of Canada". Galore will compete with books from other Commonwealth regions April 12
at the finals in New Delhi.
