Noah Richler wins non-fiction prize for “Ideas”-inspired book

Noah Richler is this year's winner of the $25,000 British Columbia Award for Canadian Non-Fiction.Toronto writer Noah Richler is this year’s winner of the $25,000 British Columbia Award for Canadian Non-Fiction for This is My Country, What’s Yours? A Literary Atlas of Canada.

The book, based on a 10-part series Richler did for CBC Radio’s Ideas, is a “window onto Canadian writing in the present day,” the jury said.

Richler interviewed more than 100 Canadian writers and in the book reflects on the communities they represent. The Literary Atlas also makes a strong argument that literature matters.

Richler has pledged $5,000 of the award to native writers and/or the Downtown Eastside. He is still deciding specifically where the money will go.
