## Caption

Which #ManBooker2018 longlisted author finds inspiration when they cycle? ‘I get loads of good ideas while cycling in the countryside. I think it has something to do with blood flow to the brain. The trouble is, the ideas are not always about work. I invented the electric butter knife while on a bicycle, and the adjustable picture hook too. Last week I formulated a rudimentary theory of Dark Matter, but I was only going 30 miles and it would probably take 60 or 70 to really nail it.’ Comment your response below. Winner will be contacted Monday 17 September 2018. #FinestFiction #longlist #competition
