A CONVERSATION WITH DR. ESI EDUGYAN ’22
Dr. Esi Edugyan has won the Giller Prize for her novels Half-Blood Blues (2011) and Washington Black (2018).
She is one of only three authors to have won Canada’s most prestigious literary award twice.
Washington Black is being made into a mini series for HULU.
