Giller Prize

Yesterday, a chinese dude won the Giller prize, which I thought was pretty cool. Think about it... when people talk about good English novels, when does a Chinese name ever come up?Vincent Lam took top honours with "Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures", a collection of short stories about student doctors (I think). This guy looks like he's just in his early 30's, AND he's a emergency room doctor too, let alone being an author. Some people just has what it takes, and I sure ain't one of them.

To all you up-and-coming authors/writers, keep on writing... you'll get your chance yet!
