The 2017 Stella Prize shortlist has been announced today, with Georgia Blain's Between a Wolf and a Dog among excellent company in the list.
Taking place over one rainy day in Sydney, and rendered with the evocative and powerful prose Blain is known for, Between a Wolf and a Dog is a celebration of the best in all of us — our capacity to live in the face of ordinary sorrows, and to draw strength from the transformative power of art.
Georgia's book has received much critical acclaim since its release in April, including winning the University of Queensland Fiction Book of the Year award, and the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Fiction.
Sadly, Georgia passed away late last year, but we celebrate Georgia’s life and remarkable talent in these achievements, and in her final book, The Museum of Words, which will be published later this year by Scribe.

The 2017 Stella Prize will be announced 18 April.
