Leviathan wins the Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction!

Congratulations to Philip Hoare! Last night his book Leviathan, a work chronicling his lifelong fascination with whales, was awarded the prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction. Published by 4th Estate, Leviathan is a gripping voyage of discovery into the heart of his whale obsession and the book that inspired it: Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. You can watch Philip speak about his prize-winning book here.

Here’s a great piece of film about the book:
