Ian Brown wins Charles Taylor Prize
Globe and Mail scribe Ian Brown is the winner of this year’s Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-fiction, which was awarded this afternoon at a gala luncheon in Toronto. The prize, worth a cool $25,000, went to Brown’s memoir The Boy in the Moon: A Father’s Search for His Disabled Son (Random House Canada).
Brown beat out John English’s Just Watch Me: The Life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1968–2000 (Knopf Canada), Daniel Poliquin’s René Lévesque (Penguin Canada), and Kenneth Whyte’s The Uncrowned King: The Sensational Rise of William Randolph Hearst (Random House Canada).
