Rachel Kushner has called writing her Booker Prize-shortlisted novel Creation Lake 'the most fun I've ever had in my life'. Meet Sadie Smith, a sardonic, 30-something spy-for-hire sent to infiltrate a gang of radical eco-activists whose leader lives in a cave. But beneath this parodic spy novel lies a profound treatise on human history. Kushner talks with Francisco Garcia today about reinventing the espionage novel, her obsession with Neanderthal genetics, and the shortcomings of modern man.
