V: It’s a novel which is self-conscious about its own status as a novel about love… Alice and Eileen ponder whether there can be any value in books about romance in the face of impending apocalypse, or whether in fact it is one of the only things worth writing about. So do you think it could be called a novel about love? V: I think that the only way the novel could be classified is simply as contemporary literature, in that it is a work which is deeply concerned with the state of our current historical moment and the plights of the people living within it. For me, the most important relationship is the friendship between Eileen and Alice. I imagine it will be regularly marketed as romance, but I don’t see the novel as a romance.
How would you classify the novel, if you think it needs classifying?Ī: While Beautiful World, Where Are You could fit into a whole range of genres, I don’t think that there’s one categorisation that would be fully accurate.
