The shortlist of the inaugural Women's Prize for Non-Fiction shortlist has been announced, whittling the sixteen titles on the longlist down to a shortlist of six.
- Laura Cumming - Thunderclap: A Memoir of Art and Life and Sudden Death
- Naomi Klein - Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World
- Noreen Masud - A Flat Place
- Tiya Miles -All that She Carried: The Journey of Ashley's Sack, a Black Family Keepsake
- Madhumita Murgia - Code Dependent: Living in the Shadow of AI
- Safiya Sinclair - How to Say Babylon
Meh! I was really hoping that Anna Funder's awesome Wifedom would be shortlisted and am saddened it is not. However, I am really interested in the books particularly by Laura Cumming, and Madhumita Murgia. I have also heard good things about the works by Noreen Masud and Safiya Sinclair by readers I admire.
The winner will be revealed on 13 June 2024. Happy reading!
