The 2016 Nib shortlist announced

Scribe cogratulates Melanie Joosten and Luke Williams on being shortlisted for the 2016 Waverley Library Award, known as the 'Nib'.

Melanie's book, A Long Time Coming: Essays on Old Age, is a powerful collection of essays exploring what it means to grow old in our youth-obsessed world. Weaving interviews with research and memoir, it is a call for empathy and a profound reminder that everyone has the right to be old.

Luke Williams' memoir, The Ice Age: A Journey into Crystal-Meth Addiction is an insightful investigation into a drug that has taken a ferocious grip on societies around the world, and is a confronting and illuminating story that charts Luke’s own addiction and recovery from the drug.

Details and the shortlist can be found here, and be sure to head to the Waverley Council website to vote in the People's Choice.

The winner of the Nib will be announced at a VIP breakfast on Wednesday 23 November.
