Yesterday, the Baillie Gifford Prize, the UK’s most prestigious annual prize for nonfiction, announced their 2023 shortlist. “I’m delighted with the range, originality and relevance of this year’s short-list,” said Frederick Studemann, this year’s chair of judges. “While each title is distinct and different—some are the result of a lifetime’s work, others the product of courageous and clear-sighted reporting—they are all top class thought-provoking, even surprising, works of literary non-fiction.”
The winning writer, who will take home £50,000, will be announced on Thursday, November 16. Until then, here’s the shortlist:
