Question 7

di Richard Flanagan (Autore)

Vintage Digital, 2024

'Question 7 could be Richard Flanagan’s greatest yet' Guardian ***‘***A masterpiece’ Mark Haddon This is a book about the choices we make and the chain reaction that follows . . . By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West’s affair, through 1930s nuclear physics, to Flanagan’s father working as a slave labourer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river, not knowing if he is to live or to die. Flanagan has created a love song to his island home and his parents and the terrible past that delivered him to that place. Through a hypnotic melding of dream, history, science, and memory, Question 7 shows how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves. **‘**I was fascinated, troubled, and enchanted by this strange and extraordinary work... I can think of nothing else quite like it’ Sarah Perry **‘Mighty in its rage and tenderness: his most momentous book yet’ Laura Cumming 'Spectacular . . . It seems to me a book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers. It certainly did on me' Colm Tóibín** Richard Flanagan, Winner of the Booker Prize 2014
