Well, move over, weighty biographies and profound philosophical treatises! The prestigious Baillie Gifford prize has unveiled a shortlist that reads less like a literary award and more like the guest list for the world’s most interesting (and slightly unhinged) dinner party. ? We’re talking ‘horny wolves, eunuchs, and pirates’ all vying for top nonfiction honors.
Apparently, authors like Helen Garner and Richard Holmes are at the forefront of this wild ride, with their nonfiction books not only exploring these… diverse subjects but also dipping into the delightful worlds of ‘international terrorists’ and, the perennial favorite, ‘ghastly literary men.’ ? Who knew highbrow literature could be this much fun? It seems the judges are truly embracing the bizarre and the wonderfully unexpected this year!
