The award-winning author of The Shining Girls on how her 'magpie curiosity' about everything from neuroparasitology to music theory led to her multiverse novel Bridge, our latest Book Club pick
When you are 5 years old, you tell your mother you are going to be a writer because you have found out it is a job you can have, just like vet and astronaut, and she is the one who taught you to read and you know that stories are doors into other universes. You don’t know that choices are too.
You are sobbing in the prosecutor’s office because he is holding up the one single page of the shoddy police investigation and explaining that he can’t take the murder of your friend to trial and up until this moment, this very second, you realise you believed, naively, in the fairytale of justice. You don’t have a choice but to let it go. The family wants you to let it go. But it surges through your writing, the rage and the pain, and you craft endings where you can have justice, of a kind.
You are sitting at home in Cape Town, no longer locked down due to covid-19 regulations, but still locked in because South Africa is on the red list and you are not allowed to fly anywhere at all and definitely not to Chicago, where they are filming an adaptation of your bookAt the same time, the rolling electrical blackouts across the country are getting worse, every day.
