It seamlessly switches between psychological realism and diabolical farce, making it a perfect choice for book clubs. In this wickedly satirical and refreshingly irreverent novel, a young physicist follows her mentor to an island research institute that provides a safe haven for cancelled artists and scientists. Helen, a graduate student on a quest to save the planet, is one of the best minds of her generation. However, when her student sex scandal is exposed, she must choose between giving up on her work or accompanying her mentor to RIP, a research institute that grants safe harbour to the disgraced and the deplorable. As Helen settles into life at the institute alongside her partner Hew, she develops a crush on an older novelist, while he is drawn to an increasingly violent protest movement. As the rift between them deepens, they both face major and potentially world-altering choices. Hilarious, provocative, and thought-provoking, How I Won A Nobel Prize approaches the issues of our times in a genuine and fresh way. Examining the price we are willing to pay for progress and what it means, in the end, to be a good person, Tarantos debut novel is a must-read for anyone who wants to be challenged and entertained. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eA Times Best Novel of the Year\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTarantos hilarious, provocative debut novel . . . switches seamlessly between psychological realism and diabolical farce. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cem\u003eThe Times\/The Sunday Times,\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eBooks of the Year\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes you read something new and immediately think how brilliant it would be for a book club. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– \u003cem\u003eVogue\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eIn Julius Tarantos wickedly satirical and refreshingly irreverent debut novel,\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ea young physicist follows her mentor to an island research institute that gives safe harbour to \u003cem\u003ecancelled\u003c\/em\u003e artists and scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelen, a graduate student on a quest to save the planet, is one of the best minds of her generation.
