It may be cold outside, but Winnipeg has just been named the hottest literary city in the country.

The Toronto-based publishing trade magazine Quill & Quire has bestowed the honour upon us in its December "Books of the Year" issue.

Calling us the "hottest CanLit city," the magazine lauded us for "new novels from David Bergen and Miriam Toews, a breakout star in Andrew Davidson, a growing McNally Robinson empire, and a local newspaper (the Free Press) that's actually expanding its book coverage instead of cutting it back.

"For Winnipeg, 2008 was an alignment of the stars."
It has been an amazing year for Winnipeg authors. Who has read the books mentioned?
