The Economy of Sparrows by Trevor Herriot
Congratulations to Trevor Herriot for winning the 2024 Glengarry Book Award Prize for his debut novel, The Economy of Sparrows!
Launched by the Saskatchewan Foundation For the Arts (SFFA) in 2021, the Glengarry Book Award Prize was created to support and foster Saskatchewan’s literary culture.
According to Claire Kramer, founding trustee of the SFFA, “The Economy of Sparrows celebrates the prairies, sharing a narrative of a deep connection rooted to land and nature. Our fourth year is a proud moment as we continue to support Saskatchewan writers who share stories and inspire readers beyond our borders.” Read the full announcement here.
