Samantha Harvey’s Booker Prize winning novel Orbital is about far more than astronauts or even space travel. In her genre-defying novel she, like her astronauts, turns her gaze back upon the Earth, asking her readers to blur boundaries and consider the meaning of perspective. In this class we will consider Harvey’s layered account of six people in space, both as a stand-alone accomplishment and also in the light of her previous writing. Together, we will find respite in this beautiful novel.
