Congratulations to @johnvaillant_ winner of the Ba Congratulations to @johnvaillant_ winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize @bgprize for Fire Weather: A True Story From a Hotter World 

Chair of the judges, Frederick Studemann, described Fire Weather as a ‘meticulously researched, thrillingly told book that forces readers to engage with one of the most urgent issues of our time.’

In May 2016, Fort McMurray, Alberta, the hub of Canada’s oil industry, was overrun by wildfire.
The multi-billion-dollar disaster turned entire neighbourhoods into firebombs and drove 90,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon.

Through the story of this apocalyptic conflagration, John Vaillant explores the past and the future of our ever-hotter, more flammable world.

For hundreds of millennia, fire has been a partner in our evolution, shaping culture and civilization.
Yet in our age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in ways never before witnessed by human beings.

With masterly prose and cinematic style, Vaillant delves into the intertwined histories of the oil industry and climate science, the unprecedented devastation wrought by modern wildfires, and the lives forever changed by these disasters.
Fire Weather is urgent reading for our new century of fire.
On Thursday 23rd November 2023 at 6:30pm Nick Hunt On Thursday 23rd November 2023 at 6:30pm Nick Hunt and @pocockjoanna will be joining us in Hampstead to discuss Red Smoking Mirror.

Set in 16th-century Mexico, Nick Hunt’s Red Smoking Mirror offers an alternative history to the fall of Islamic Spain to the Christians. The story follows Jewish merchant Eli Ben Abram as he leads the first ships across the sea to the New Maghreb.

Red Smoking Mirror explores the power of alternative histories and the comparisons we can make with our own, the legacy of colonialism and empire, as well as the travels that influenced his writing. All aspects unite to beg the question: does history create leaders or do leaders create history?

Joining Nick in conversation is award-winning author, Joanna Pocock, best known for her collection of essays, Surrender, published by @fitzcarraldoeditions . Joanna’s writing and photography has also appeared in The New Statesman, The Times Literary Supplement and Dazed and Confused.
