VANCOUVER, B.C. - A father’s struggle to come to terms with his son’s disability and a biography of media baron William Randolph Hearst are among the nominees for Canada’s richest non-fiction literary prize.

The shortlist for the 2010 BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction includes Ian Brown’s "The Boy in the Moon: A Father’s Search for His Disabled Son" and Kenneth Whyte’s "The Uncrowned King: The Sensational Rise of William Randolph Hearst."

Karen Connelly’s "Burmese Lessons: A Love Story" and Eric Siblin’s "The Cello Suites: J.S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for a Baroque Masterpiece" round out the list announced today.

The award is the non-fiction counterpart to the Giller Prize for fiction and the Griffin Poetry Prize.

The winner, who will take home $40,000 for the prize, will be announced at a ceremony in Vancouver on Jan. 15.

The annual award was established by the British Columbia Achievement Foundation.
