Richard Flanagan, who won the Booker Prize for fiction in 2014, has become the first author in history to achieve the “unprecedented double” after being named the winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction.
Australian Flanagan secured the non-fiction award for his memoir Question 7, about the choices we make about love and the chain reaction that follows, which was announced at a ceremony hosted at BMA House in London on Tuesday.
