STURROCK & DEUTSCHER nominated for Samuel Johnson Prize

STORYTELLER by Donald Sturrock and THROUGH THE LANGUAGE GLASS by Guy Deutscher are among the 18 titles longlisted for the 2011 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction.  The list ranges widely in interest and subject matter, and confirms the prize’s reputation for highlighting diverse and thought-provoking books.

Ben Macintyre, chair of the judges, comments:

“After some intense and robust debate, and only small amounts of bloodshed, we have come up with a long list that reflects the extraordinary quality and range of the books published in this stellar year for non-fiction.”
