The Danish poet and writer Olga Ravn tells us that being nominated for the Booker International Prize is like having an affair. Her book, The Employees, is a mini space opera, short in length but limitless in scope, pondering what it means to be human. Her translator Martin Aitken talks about the challenge of realising on the page, scenes that only exist in the author's imagination.
