Chuck Darwin‘This is a book we need now’: <a href="https://c.im/tags/Booker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Booker</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/prize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prize</a> judge on why Samantha Harvey's Orbital won Only in retrospect do I see that the shortlist that emerged from our discussions was dominated by themes of escape and retreat, and that many of the books took place in cloistered settings, both literally – in Charlotte Wood’s masterful ❇️Stone Yard Devotional, the protagonist leaves everything behind for a life of atheistic contemplation at an isolated convent – and metaphorically – in ❇️James, Percival Everett’s miracle of interiority, escape is found in the life of the mind. ❇️Held by Anne Michaels is an interstitial contemplation of love and grief that at times seems to retreat into its own negative space, as if searching there for a kind of solace. The acerbic narrator of Rachel Kushner’s ❇️Creation Lake defects from the world by degrees with beautifully sardonic effect, while in Yael van der Wouden’s ❇️The Safekeep, the central characters’ obsession with one another envelops them in eroticism as well as unstable ideas of home, amid experiences of post-war dispossession.In the wake of everything that had happened, it felt at times as though we judges were like the six astronauts in Samantha Harvey’s ❇️Orbital, sealed into the sheltered space these books were building around us. So perhaps it is no surprise that when we emerged from that space to choose our winner, asking ourselves which book we most wanted to press into the hands of as many readers as possible, we voted unanimously in favour of Orbital. In offering us the perspective of those astronauts observing the Earth from the International Space Station, it had pulled us as far away as possible from our planet, with the strange and utterly compelling effect of neutralising earthly concerns while at the same time throwing them into the starkest relief.Orbital is such a small book, but it seemed as though all of life was in it. And even from such a distant, hermetic vantage point, it felt achingly intimate. In my copy, I’ve scribbled notes between the lines of text (a sure sign a book has grabbed me by the throat). One of them reads: “This is a book we need now, but it may also be a book we’ll need forever.” I can think of no higher recommendation<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/nov/12/choosing-booker-winner-samantha-harvey-orbital?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/nov/12/choosing-booker-winner-samantha-harvey-orbital?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</a>
