 Trying to pressure this award to break with a company that is investing in an Israeli weapons maker makes perfect sense. Two jury members for this year's Scotiabank Giller Prize have resigned. Indian novelist Megha Majumder and Ethiopian-American writer Dina Magestu both quit over Scotiabank's investment in an Israeli weapons maker. That leaves three of the original five judges. Multiple authors have also withdrawn their work from consideration for this year's prize.
