His novels and plays have been translated into twelve languages, and honoured with a number of prizes including two Governor General's Literary Awards.[1] His debut novel, Liminal, was honoured with France's 2021 Prix des Jeunes Libraires.[2] His second novel, The Listeners, made the Canadian fiction bestsellers list, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Giller Prize.[3] The Listeners was adapted into a limited series, directed by Janicza Bravo, for the BBC.[4][5]
Tannahill has been described as "the enfant terrible of Canadian Theatre" by Libération[6] and The Walrus,[7] "one of Canada's most extraordinary artists" by CBC Arts,[8] and "widely celebrated as one of Canada's most accomplished young playwrights, filmmakers and all-round multidisciplinary artists" by the Toronto Star.[9] In 2019, CBC Arts named Tannahill as one of sixty-nine LGBTQ Canadians, living or deceased, who has shaped the country's history.[10]
