Protester and author Farzana Doctor accused Scotiabank of “art-washing” amid Israel ’s war in Gaza .
Group known as CanLit Responds says members including authors and book industry workers set up a picket line and staged a “ Boycott Giller ” counter-gala.
The protest follows renewed criticism from former winner Madeleine Thien , who asked prize organizers to remove her name, image and work from its website.
Thien said she offered to raise money to fund this year ’s prize and that “a meaningful award for a winner and shortlist” was raised by “previous Giller winners” within three days .
She said she later learned through the media that the Giller was sticking with Scotiabank , but removing the sponsor from the prize.
