2024 – Jonathan Gleason, Field Guide to Falling Ill
“I’m delighted to select Field Guide to Falling Ill as the inaugural winner of the Yale Nonfiction Book Prize,” O’Rourke said. “In precisely observed, lyrical essays, Gleason probes the social construction of illness and modern medicine, examining the human realities behind the science and policy of disease. The result is a layered, reflective, and unusually poised debut, one that will resonate with anyone who has contended with illness.”
