Congratulations to Ceilidh Michelle! Butterflies, Zebras, Moonbeams is shortlisted for the Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction.
From the jury: “Butterflies is a sharply observed realist tale of wayward Romantics living the creative, messy lives that dreams — and nightmares — are made of… Books must be about language and I appreciate the stern way Michelle handles language here, stripping diction and syntax down to simple. There’s nothing overripe. The prose works like clean hard chords on a guitar.”
