For the first time in its seven year history, the Giller Prize has been spilt by two of the finalists. At a gala black tie dinner and awards ceremony at Toronto's Four Seasons Hotel on November 2, the jury announced its decision, awarding the prestigious literary prize jointly to David Richard Adams for his novel Mercy Among the Children and to Michael Ondaatje for his novel Anil's Ghost. The Giller Prize is named in honour of the late literary journalist Doris Giller and was founded in 1994 by her husband, Toronto businessman Jack Rabinovitch. The jury panel, comprised of authors Margaret Atwood, Alistair MacLeod, and Jane Urquhart had considered over 60 books submitted by 27 publishers, from five provinces and virtually every region of the country.
