ONSIDE Non-fiction Book of the Year
“Non-fiction” covers a multitude of subjects and it was always somewhat anomalous to have sometimes strange bedfellows lumped together in the same category. Accordingly, since 2015 the non-fiction category has been split into non-fiction and popular non-fiction with non-fiction, covering narrative works of Irish history, biography, politics, archaeology, travel, and culture.
