Canadian journalist Ian Brown's book The Boy In The Moon: A Father’s Search For His Disabled Son has won the 2010 Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction. The CAD$25,000 prize was announced earlier this week in Toronto.
Ian Brown is a journalist for The Globe and Mail and is the anchor of TVOntario’s Human Edge and The View from Here.
The Boy In The Moon: A Father’s Search For His Disabled Son - out here next month - follows Brown's son Walker who was born with a genetic mutation so rare that doctors call it an orphan syndrome. Watch Ian Brown below talking to Allan Gregg about the book and his son's disability.
