This extraordinary dozen showcases an ecstatic diversity of voices and styles, of narrative deployment and moral urgency, of formal innovation and old-fashioned storytelling pleasure. There is something for everyone on this list, and within each of these books there is to be found beauty, honest reckoning, human compassion, and the irrefutable mark of the sublime. It was the jury&#8217;s great honour to delight in the manifold achievements of these books, and with their announcement we leave this debate settled for another year: Canada&#8217;s literature is as vibrant and expansive as ever.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <u>Quotes<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The jury has selected a dazzling group of writers to represent the very best in Canadian fiction for 2021.
