Us Conductors was named the winner of the 2014 Scotiabank Giller Prize.

In his acceptance speech for the award, Michaels said that as a new author, it was an "unimaginable gift" to receive support from writers and publishers.

"There are people in our little corner of culture who behave monstrously," he said.

"We have to reckon with that, and change it. Each of us does."
