Natasha Brown: Universality

Natasha Brown: UniversalityNatasha Brown: Universality

One of the most exciting voices in contemporary British fiction, Natasha Brown joins us for a special In Conversation event exploring her bold new novel Universality.

Sharp, unsettling, and darkly funny, Universality probes the slippery boundaries between truth and fiction, reality and performance.

Through a cast of characters expertly wielding language for power, profit, and influence, Brown exposes how cultural narratives are shaped and who gets to control them.

Set on an abandoned Yorkshire farm occupied by a group of hippie-anarchists, the novel begins with a shocking act of violence: their leader is killed with a solid gold bar.

An ambitious young journalist's expose goes viral, but as the story fractures into multiple perspectives - a disgraced banker, a secretive columnist, a dream-driven cult leader, and a fugitive with nothing left to lose - the truth becomes far more elusive.

Join Natasha Brown in conversation with Nicole Abadee for an evening examining storytelling, media, power, and the dangerous seduction of a good narrative.
