Madeleine Thien Wins Scotiabank Giller Prize
Madeleine Thien's novel Do Not Say We Have Nothing tells the story of three music students in China before, during and after the Cultural Revolution, the sociopolitical movement that set out to purge China of traditional and capitalist art that did not reflect the values of the New China. As a result, the students lose both their identities as musicians and the music they love.
This powerful novel is the winner of the 2016 Scotiabank Giller Prize.
