Den 6 augusti 1945 faller atombomben över Hiroshima. Minst 60 000 människor mister livet, förmodligen långt fler. Men för Richard Flanagans far, som är krigsfånge i ett arbetsläger i Japan, betyder bomben överlevnad. I "Fråga 7" försöker Richard Flanagan formulera ett svar på den moraliska paradox som historien väcker. Utan Hiroshima hade han aldrig funnits, men bakom varje fråga väntar en ny: utan en roman av H.G. Wells från 1914 hade bomben kanske inte uppfunnits – fysikern Leó Szilárd fick idén efter att ha läst H.G. Wells roman.
Flanagans sökande utvecklas till ett slags litterär kärnreaktion, som försöker bringa reda i den omöjliga ekvation som är livet. "Fråga 7" är en oförglömlig och ojämförlig historia – om liv och öde, kolonialism och arv – från en av vår tids mest betydande internationella författare.
"Det är en fantastiskt rik skildring av enskilda liv och stor historia, med ett språk som når in i läsarsjälen tack vare Niclas Hvals perfekta översättning. Prisbelönt och hyllad i den engelskspråkiga världen – DN:s kritiker håller med: detta är årets bästa bok." DN Kultur
”'Fråga 7', ljuvligt översatt av Niclas Hval, är en makalös liten roman med ett språk som rör sig med en sådan precision mellan verkligheten och fiktionen att den får nästan all annan prosa att framstå som full av tillfälliga ord, 404-fel och döda URL-länkar." Rasmus Landström, Aftonbladet
"Det är otroligt starkt…" Jonas Eklöf, TV4
"…hur sjutton har jag tidigare kunnat missat det här författarskapet?" Torbjörn Flygt, Sydsvenskan

This volume breaks tradition with previous studies of the unemployed in Britain. It offers a history highlighting the active political nature of the unemployed, rather than a depiction of them as passive victims of the system whose existence signals economic decline and social injustice. Beginning with the first appearance of the jobless as a political group in 1884, Richard Flanagan reduces large amounts of available information on their activities-- outlining the major points that define the nature of the politics of the unemployed, discussing their troubled leadership, and documenting the government's response to their efforts through the end of the National Unemployment Workers' Movement in 1939.Curious as to why much of the information about Britain's unemployed has been overlooked, Flanagan lifts the literature on the subject out of what he considers to be a largely fictionalized view by presenting a factual, historically relevant account examining the unemployed in relation to their society, past and present, and how they were able to overcome their diversity at certain times of crisis to form a single political voice and gain some control over their lives. The study reaches beyond the immediate subject, as its conclusions reflect upon the connection between unemployment and any industrialized society, the viability of certain solutions to the conflicts between classes, and most importantly, the political influence that even the most disadvantaged can exert if encouraged to take an active role in their future.

'Striking...brilliantly done' The TimesAn ember storm of a novel, this is Booker Prize-winning novelist Richard Flanagan at his most moving-and astonishing-best. Anna's aged mother is dying - if her three children would just allow it. Forced by their pity to stay alive, she increasingly escapes through her hospital window into visions of horror and delight.When Anna's finger vanishes and a few months later her knee disappears, Anna too feels the pull of the window. She begins to see that all around her others are similarly vanishing, but no one else notices. All Anna can do is keep her mother alive. But the window keeps opening wider, taking Anna and the reader ever deeper into a strangely beautiful novel about hope, love and orange-bellied parrots.'One of our greatest living novelists' Washington Post

**Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize 2024**'A work of non-fiction . . . but it has all the complexity of emotional heft of a great novel . . . Question 7 sets the high-water mark for what the genre [of memoir] can be' Sunday Times'There’s so much . . . in Flanagan’s beautiful, unclassifiable novel-cum-memoir . . . That it is a masterpiece is without question' ObserverThis is a book about the choices we make and the chain reaction that follows . . .By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West’s affair, through 1930s nuclear physics, to Flanagan’s father working as a slave labourer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river, not knowing if he is to live or to die.Flanagan has created a love song to his island home and his parents and the terrible past that delivered him to that place.Through a hypnotic melding of dream, history, science, and memory, Question 7 shows how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves.‘I was fascinated, troubled, and enchanted by this strange and extraordinary work... I can think of nothing else quite like it’ Sarah Perry‘Mighty in its rage and tenderness: his most momentous book yet’ Laura Cumming'Spectacular . . .
