TORONTO – British author Robert Macfarlane has won the inaugural Writers’ Trust Weston International Award.
The $75,000 prize goes to a non-fiction author who is not from Canada to honour an outstanding body of work.
The Writers’ Trust jurors say Macfarlane explores the relationship between humans and nature in new and illuminating ways.
Macfarlane has published six non-fiction books over the past two decades, including “Mountains of the Mind: A History of a Fascination” and “Underland: A Deep Time Journey.”
His forthcoming book is due out in 2025, and is called “Is a River Alive?”
The Writers’ Trust announced the creation of the Weston International Award earlier this year, presenting it as a companion award to the Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction, which is awarded annually to a Canadian author for a single work of non-fiction.
