Samantha Harvey’s ‘beautiful and ambitious’ Orbital wins Booker prize
The British author’s novel about astronauts on the International Space Station was chosen unanimously as the winner, says judging chair Edmund de Waal
Harvey said that she nearly gave up on writing Orbital because she thought: “Why on earth would anybody want to hear from a woman at her desk in Wiltshire writing about space, imagining what it’s like being in space, when people have actually been there? I lost my nerve with it, I thought, I don’t have the authority to write this book.” She said that Tim Peake, an astronaut, has read the book, and was “very nice about it”. He “wanted to know where I’d got my intel”, she said.
근데 이 여자도 이상하지만
이책에 상을 준 사람들도 참 이상하네.차라리 넌픽션을 읽지 누가 이런 픽션을 읽지? 차라리 이런 픽션을 읽을빠엔 스타워즈 류의 에스에프 무협지를 읽겟다. 하여간 할일 없는 사람들 많다 정말. 차라리 성경을 읽지.
