WILL MCGRATH

Will McGrath won the 2015 BWR Nonfiction Prize, the 2015 SER Narrative Nonfiction Prize, and the 2014 Buckvar Nonfiction Prize.

He is currently finishing work on a book about the southern African nation of Lesotho - a hybrid of memoir and narrative nonfiction. Think Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia but with more dirty jokes and less made up stuff.
