Exclusive honorary degree interviews with Dr. Blunt

NU News is pleased to present exclusive interviews with Nipissing University’s honorary degree recipients from the recent convocation ceremonies in North Bay and Brantford.

Each honorary degree recipient was asked: What is your message to graduates? What are some of your accomplishments that make you proud? And, what does this honorary degree from Nipissing University mean to you?

Today, we present Dr. Gliles Blunt.

Giles Blunt is a Canadian novelist and screenwriter who has captivated an international following and is recognized as one of Canada’s most successful crime writers. As the author of the popular John Cardinal series set in the small town of Algonquin Bay, which is North Bay very thinly disguised, Blunt has earned numerous awards, including the British Crime Writers’ Association Silver Dagger award and the Crime Writers of Canada’s Arthur Ellis Award for best novel.  His novel, Breaking Lorca was nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 2010. 

Stay tuned for more honorary degree interviews in coming weeks.
