Olga Tokachuk: Personal psychology and imagination are like butterfly effect, which is enough to fan the universe. The obvious features of her novels are psychological metaphor and poetic language. In particular, she often pays attention to the tiny individual destiny, which reflects the exploration of the vast world and even the philosophical thinking of the universe. The recent novel Flying focuses on a Dutch anatomist who travels by air. Through the travel stories and the examination of his inner past, it has a series of stories from17th century to modern times. The original Polish name of this novel is Biguni, which has multiple meanings such as wandering, refusing to settle down and eternal spiritual exploration. The flight name is not accurate enough. At that time, Lisa Apignanesi, the chairman of Booker Prize Jury, believed that Tokachuk successfully entered an imaginary world similar to the orbit of a star with a very regular and unconventional narrative way. This novel won the final prize of "Discovering the true emotional structure of human beings in humor and happy pranks"
In this novel, the action of flying becomes a metaphor for the rapid departure and arrival of human beings, while human anatomy is more like the dilemma that human beings encounter. Individual psychology or imagination and dreams play a role in changing fate to a certain extent, which is where Tok always believes in psychological power in his writing. In an interview, she said that this understanding of writing, "through writing, we should slightly break through this so-called rationalism and strengthen it in this way. We live in a constantly surprising and unpredictable world. My understanding of writing is a stretching exercise, stretching our experiences, transcending them and building a wider awareness. "
Peter Hendrick: I think I am a traditional classical writer. Thus, Hendrick's humor lies in his seriousness. Although he is 74 years old, he is still exploring and writing seriously. "Sometimes, I write in the blank. This is my favorite activity. I write in nature magazines. Actually, I'm afraid of writing. Writing is not normal. You can't keep writing. I am writing this article now, and I still feel that writing is not a natural thing, which means constant adventure for me. "
