After being fired from his latest television job, a disgraced Harry Boyd returns to his radio roots in the northern Canadian town of Yellowknife as the manager of a station no one listens to, and finds himself at the center of the station's unlikely social scene. New anchor Dido Paris, both renowned and mocked for her Dutch accent, fled an affair with her husband's father, only to be torn between Harry and another man. Wild child Gwen came to learn radio production, but under Harry's tutelage finds herself the guardian of the late-night shift. And lonely Eleanor wonders if it's time to move south just as she meets an unlikely suitor. While the station members wait for Yellowknife to get its first television station and the crew embarks on a life-changing canoe expedition, the city is divided over a proposal to build a pipeline that would cut across Native lands, bringing modernization and a flood of workers, equipment and money into sacred territory. Hay's crystalline prose, keen details and sharp dialogue sculpt the isolated, hardy residents of Yellowknife, who provide a convincing backdrop as the main cast tromps through the existential woods.

I haven't read any books by Elizabeth Hay yet. It sounds really interesting, and I'm looking forward to reading it.
Thank you very much for the nice card and lovely bookmark, too!

I finally managed to read this book, and I enjoyed it very much! Hard to say what I loved best - the interesting characters, the main storyline, or the canoe trip into the Barrens... It's a great book, and I'm not surprised it won the Giller prize.
I think I'll release "Late Nights On Air" during the next Canada Day Release Challenge.
Thanks again so much for this book, Fracula. Great choice!
