The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2024 Winner

It is our great pleasure to confirm Question 7 by Richard Flanagan as the winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2024.

Blending memoir, history, science and philosophical enquiry with the narrative pull of a great novel, Flanagan’s deeply affecting work takes in the story of his parents, H.G. Wells, nuclear physics, Hiroshima and the dark past of Tasmania to build an entrancing exploration of inheritance, historical justice, and the forces of memory and love.
