Author Benjamin Labatut takes us inside some of the most extraordinary minds of the 20th century, scientists like Albert Einstein, Fritz Haber and Erwin Schrödinger. Labatut blends fact with fiction to explore the limits of thought and science, and the wonders and dangers that lie at those limits. He also tells us that he's wary of the recognition after being shortlisted for the International Booker prize, while his translator Nate West is happy to embrace the positives. Photo by Laura Aziz
