Marina Endicott’s Good to a Fault won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and was a finalist for the Giller Prize and CBC Radio’s Canada Reads. Her vaudeville book, The Little Shadows, was short-listed for the Governor General’s award and long-listed for the Giller, as was Close to Hugh. Her long-researched novel about the terrible benevolence of residential schools, The Difference, won the Edmonton and Dartmouth fiction prizes. Her latest, The Observer, draws on her experience in Mayerthorpe, Alberta, as the partner of an RCMP recruit, and was Saskatchewan Book of the Year in 2023. An accomplished dramaturge and director, Endicott has had several plays produced and wrote the narration script for the award-winning NFB film Vanishing Point. She teaches creative writing at the University of Alberta, U of T, University of Saskatchewan and here at Humber, but she goes home to Saskatoon as often as she can.
