Congratulations to Richard Powers, whose book ‘Bewilderment’ has been longlisted for the #2021BookerPrize
 
The judges said: ‘We were very moved by Bewilderment, which follows a widowed astrobiologist and his young son as they find their way in a world that has cast the boy as aberrant. (“I wanted to tell the man that everyone alive […] was on the spectrum. That’s what a spectrum is.”) Powers thrills us with intricate scientific ideas even as he inhabits the consciousness of the grieving, non-neurotypical child – and shows us the loneliness and complexity involved in parenting him.’
