Yep, on 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑎𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐻𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝐹𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡, ᎾᎡᏴᏆᎢᎪᏞ, an absolute wonder of a book.
I am a better person for having read this gem, in English, because it's both one of my languages and of my luxuries.
Onwards to anything by luminary Samantha Harvey...

I’m sure #Orbital by Samantha Harvey will win the #ClimateFictionPrize, it already won the Booker. Nicely written, but the focus on Russian cosmonauts isn’t my thing. Still, it probably deserves the win, though I can’t be sure since I haven’t read all the nominees. #cli-fi #books #Orbitalbook

I think that #Orbital by Samantha Harvey will snag the #ClimateFictionPrize. It’s got a poetic take on Earth’s beauty, but with some iffy geopolitical timing. Definitely a #climate-fiction book, though not quite a masterpiece. Still, it’ll take the win. #cli-fi #books #climatechange #Orbitalbook

I’m calling it now: #Orbital by Samantha Harvey will win the #ClimateFictionPrize. A unique blend of lyrical praise for Earth and questionable geopolitical timing. It's certainly a #climate-fiction book, but a masterpiece? Hardly. Still, it'll win. #cli-fi #books #climatechange #Orbitalbook

It's been a long time since a book captured me so deeply that I read it in one go, surrounded my empty cups of tea and shushing my husband whenever he wanted something. #orbital by Samantha Harvey made me feel so tiny. And in such awe of our planet. Such awe.

Me reading Orbital by Samantha Harvey while listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms

Picked up Orbital by Samantha Harvey an hour ago which is the @thebookerprizes.bsky.social 2024 winner. Already a third of the way through. It goes well listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms reading this book.
