ravine Quarringtons New Book The Ravine Makes Giller Long List!

The Ravine by Paul Quarrington

This just in! The Ravine has been longlisted for the 2008 Scotiabank Giller Prize. Quarrington is no stranger to the Giller, having been shortlisted in 2004 for Galveston.

“The selections this year are especially formidable. Many of the other nominees are personal friends,” says Quarrington, “which might cause some difficulty when I begin the hexing incantations and whammies, but hey, I hope they understand. I’m proud to be on such a fine list.”

Is it any wonder that Quarrington won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour? In addition to pulling in the Leacock, his novel King Leary also kept him “on the island,” emerging as sole survivor (read: winner) of the 2008 CBC Canada Reads competition.

    MailChimp, the second most popular email service provider or autoresponder in the world, just behind Aweber. So comparing to Aweber, why mailchimp could stant out from the crowd? What are the main features?
