Can you tell us about the book?
It begins with the question that we’ve been trying to solve for many years: what is a black hole? Once I tossed a stone into the lake and the water rippled to form a circle. At that moment, I wondered if one circle were a universe, when many universes collided, there would be holes between them. The book is based on this idea.

How do you feel after being awarded twice?
I wrote this book three or four years ago. When I reread it, I didn’t like some parts of the book. Since I knew what the story would be and how it would end, I think I wrote it aiming to finish each chapter without giving much detail. It’s like I focused on the destination, not the journey. But I’m proud that I finished such a long story.

What happens in the next book?
The characters are grown up and the theme of the story is going to be more crucial. The end of the first episode is related to genetics, and so the next book will be based on that. The third one will be about mechanics.

How do you cope with the writer’s block?
I’ve never had this problem; I can always write. Inspiration comes all the times since the world never stops moving. I make each day of my life different so that I never get bored. I try to be a reader who knows nothing about the plot, thus I can make my story fresh and exciting.

Are you full-time writer now?
No, I don’t like doing just one thing all the time. I would like to be a new-generation academic—someone who is bright but can present his work or research differently, not in a boring way. Also, I would like to work in an office some time since I’ve never experienced in working 9 to 5.
