the question for the after the bomb and romanticist section was:
"I think a writer's job is to provoke questions. I like to think that if someone's read a book of mine, they've had--I don't know what--the literary equivalent of a shower. Something that would start them thinking in a slightly different way perhaps. That's what I think writers are for. This is what our function is"
How do after the bombs reflects this or something like that.
THEN the creative question was:
Have a provocative question that is central to your story and remains unresolved. your story should reflect the context of the after the bomb era
These questions were easier than other years ( I think)
