TORONTO -- Rachel Cusk, Michael Redhill and Eden Robinson are among the finalists for this year's Scotiabank Giller Prize.
Cusk, who was shortlisted for the prize in 2015 for "Outline," made the cut this time for her novel "Transit."
Redhill, who was shortlisted for "Martin Sloane" in 2001, is in the running for "Bellevue Square."
And Robinson, a 2000 finalist for "Monkey Beach," is on the list with "Son of a Trickster."
The short list also includes Ed O'Loughlin for "Minds of Winter" and Michelle Winters for "I Am a Truck."
The prize awards $100,000 to the best Canadian novel or short story collection published in English, and $10,000 to each of the finalists.
It was established by Jack Rabinovitch in 1994, the year after the death of his wife, literary journalist Doris Giller.
Rabinovitch died in August at age 87.
This year's winner will be announced Nov. 20 at a Toronto gala that will be broadcast on CBC.
The five-member jury chose the finalists from a field of 112 books submitted by 73 publisher imprints from across Canada.
The jury includes Canadian writers Anita Rau Badami, Andre Alexis and Lynn Coady, along with British writer Richard Beard and American writer Nathan Englander.
Last year's winner was Vancouver-born, Montreal-based Madeleine Thien for her novel "Do Not Say We Have Nothing."
