Wayson Choy
Co-presented by Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, Wayson Choy’s first novel, The Jade Peony (Random House, 1996) spent twenty-six weeks on the The Globe and Mail’s bestseller list and placed number six on its 1996 Year-End National Bookseller List for fiction. It shared the Trillium Award that year with Margaret Atwood and the Vancouver Book Award. Begun as a short story in 1977, The Jade Peony went on to be anthologized more than twenty-five times. Wayson Choy lives in Toronto where he is at work on a new manuscript.
