Richard Flanagan: A Question of Consequence

'That it is a masterpiece is without question' is how the Observer described Question 7: Richard Flanagan's 12th book, winner of 2024's Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction. Today the multitalented author shares with Chris Power how he brought together seemingly disparate events - including the atomic bomb, H G Wells' affair with Rebecca West, and his own near-death experience - to create a hypnotic blend of memoir and auto-fiction exploring the chain reactions that occur when we make a choice about love.
