Cross-Publisher Celebration: Kathleen Winter Nominated for Weston Prize

We're excited to announce -- to any who have not yet heard the news -- that Kathleen Winter was shortlisted for the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction.  No, this is not a Biblioasis book; it was published by the excellent House of Anansi.  But neither does that matter: we still take great pleasure in Kathleen's success, and wish her all the best with this wonderful book, one which most certainly a book should be on all Thirsty readers reading lists.
