These are very successful people who are working on the international stage. I am very proud to say that Canadian writers have won nearly every prize in the book world, including the Prix Goncourt, which is the most prestigious award in the French language literature; the Prix Femina, an award decided by an exclusively female jury; the Commonwealth Writers' Prize; and the International IMPAC Dublin, which was won by Alistair MacLeod in 2001 for his novel, No Great Mischief.
Je suis très fier de dire que les auteurs canadiens sont parvenus à décrocher tous les types de prix offerts dans le monde de l’édition, y compris le prix Goncourt, qui est le plus prestigieux de la littérature française, le prix Femina, décerné par un jury exclusivement composé de femmes, le Commonwealth Writers' Prize et le International IMPAC Dublin, remporté par Alistair MacLeod en 2001 pour son roman La perte et le fracas.
