Riveting read! Rudi Vrba‘s story is amazing and deserves to be more well-known. In Freedland‘s hands, his account reads more like a thriller (which he has experience writing under the pseudonym Sam Bourne). I can definitely see why this made the #BaillieGifford2022 shortlist.

I went with a mix of print and audio. The print includes maps and photographs. Freedland does a great job narrating the audiobook.

Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival and Hope in an American City | Andrea Elliott

The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2022 Longlist! See comments below for a link to the announcement video. I haven‘t read a one and they all sound extremely interesting.

I‘m for sure going to read tagged. I bought it after it won the Pulitzer, but haven‘t gotten to it yet. I also plan to get The Escape Artist (current US pub date Oct 18). Maybe Otherlands and Super-Infinite too? Shortlist to be announced Oct 10.

Ruthiella I should at the very least commit to reading the winner. I naturally shy away from nonfiction, but want to read more. 2y

squirrelbrain Don‘t be telling me about more long lists to read Jamie! 🤣 Seriously, though, yes I‘m interested but probably shouldn‘t try to read them all…. 2y

jlhammar @squirrelbrain 😂 I usually just read a handful each year. The ones that most interest me and that I can get my hands on. There have been some excellent selections in the past. 2y
