“Outsider An Old Man, a Mountain and the Search for a Hidden Past” tells the story of author Brett Popplewell’s search for the truth about Dag Aabye, an 81-year-old super-athlete who lived in a school bus and apparently ran day and night whatever the weather.
“Prisoner #1056: How I Survived War and Found Peace,” is a memoir by Roy Ratnavel, a Tamil Canadian who survived torture and confinement in a Sri Lankan prison camp, found asylum in Canada and rose to become an executive at Toronto-based CI Global Asset Management. Grann’s previous historical adventures include “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a finalist for the National Book Award and “The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon.” This survival story follows the crew of The Wager, a British ship that left England in 1740 and wrecked on an island off the coast of Patagonia. “The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder,” by David Grann, joins the list at No. The flow of new non-fiction continues, with several noteworthy debuts.
