Before she shocked the literary world by taking the $50,000 Scotiabank Giller Prize with a relatively unknown novel, Johanna Skibsrud was getting published at Brock.

The author of The Sentimentalists, also a PhD student at the University of Montreal, published “If We Dare To: Border Crossings in Erin Mouré’s O Cidadán” in the latest issue of The Brock Review.

Skibsrud made news this week when her novel, which has a small print run through Gaspereau Press, received one of Canada’s top literary honours.
