With a cast including HG Wells, Rebecca West, and Leo Szilard, Richard Flanagan’s Question 7 fuses memoir, history, and philosophical meditation in a singular investigation into the power of the human spirit.
One of Australia’s leading authors, Richard Flanagan won the Booker for The Narrow Road to the Deep North, a novel informed by his father’s experiences as a slave labourer in the second world war. He returns to that subject in his new book Question 7, a profound and powerful book that contemplates love and death, resilience and tragedy, and how the world shapes fiction and fiction shapes the world in turn.
