Author Naomi Klein Wins Women’s Prize for Non-Friction

Published:

Canadian writer Naomi Klein recently won the first prize for the Women’s Non-Fiction genre.

She won the award with the book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World.

Klein Doppelganger begins with Naomi’s experience due to mistaken identity as someone else.

The book further delves into the effect of modern digital tools like AI and social media on our daily lives.

Meanwhile, VV Ganeshananthan won first place in the Women’s Prize for Fiction with the novel Brotherless Night.

Ganeshananthan’s book tells the story of a family broken by the impact of the Sri Lankan civil war.

Women’s fiction and non-fiction winners were announced in central London on Thursday evening.

Naomi Klein Doppelganger, A Call –to Arms

Doppelganger tells the story of Naomi Klein’s struggles with being mistaken for Naomi Wolf.

The book probes into a lot of topics, including conspiracy theories.

Moreover, Naomi Wolf is popular for her third book- The Beauty Myth.

Another Wolf’s book that made the waves is Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries.

However, a US publisher in 2019 canceled one of Wolf’s books due to accuracy concerns.

The chief judge for nonfiction, Susannah Lipscomb, commented on Klein’s book.

The judge said: “This Brilliant and layered analysis demonstrates humor, insight, and expertise.

Klein’s writing is both deeply personal and impressively expansive.

Doppelganger is a courageous, humane, and optimistic call-to-arms that moves us beyond black and white, beyond Right and Left, inviting us instead to embrace the spaces in between.”

Naomi Klein came into the limelight in 1999 with “No Logo.”

Her debut book tackled cheap labor and commercial brands. No Logo rose to become an international bestselling book.

Each of the winners in the Women NonFiction category received a cash prize of $38,000.

This year’s event is the 29th edition of the Women Prize NonFiction.

2024 Shortlisted Women NonFiction authors are Naomi Klein, Laura Cumming, Noreen Masud, Tiaya Miles, Madhumita Murgia, and Safiya Sinclair.

Last year, female nonfiction winners were Barbara Kingsolver, Susanna Clarke, and Maggie O ̓Farrell.
