Question 7 | Richard Flanagan

This thought-provoking book is a mix of unusual personal/family memoir and what feels like a NF version of Labatut‘s How We Cease to Understand the World. It ruminates on life, death, war, and more. I found it fascinating and I‘m glad it serves as my final completed book of 2024. #TOBlonglist

squirrelbrain Interesting…I‘ve been on the fence about reading this one, but may borrow it from the library now. 4mo

Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Yes, you should! I don‘t think you‘ll regret it. Plus, it‘s short, which is always nice. 4mo

An idiosyncratic memoir with much about Flanagan‘s father, WW2, the atomic bomb & invented vignettes about H. G. Wells & the physicists who developed the bomb. It‘s artfully woven together in his usual muscular style. His writing is jaw-droppingly good & he‘s distilled this tapestry of a life history to its essence. Humble, Australian & acutely aware of injustice in Tasmania 1780s through to the war, & how precarious life is, including his own.
