Description
Novelist Natasha Brown joins the Prospect Interview to talk about writing contemporary Britain and the fragmented self in her debut, Assembly. The novel follows a Black British woman as she navigates her high-powered job in London’s financial world, faces a medical emergency, and prepares to go to her boyfriend’s family party at their lavish countryside estate. Natasha talks to assistant editor Rebecca Liu about bringing finance into fiction, writing the inner lives of the wealthy, and what fiction can offer a nation currently caught in endless culture wars. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
