UBC presents "75 Years of Controversy: Canada's Governor General's Literary Awards 1936-2010," until Jan. 31 at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (1961 East Mall). Since their establishment in 1936, the Governor General's Literary Awards have served as Canada's premier literary honour. Yet over the years, the awards have often been noted as much for their controversy as for the writing they've sought to recognize. This art exhibition highlights some of the more contentious episodes from the awards' first 75 years.
