A lockdown rave. Someone bludgeoned - almost to death - with a gold bar. A newspaper article that tells the outlandish story. But is it the truth? And is that what anyone wants anymore?
Natasha Brown's latest novel Universality has been described as a "nesting doll of satire that leaves readers uncertain where their loyalties lie."
It made the latest Booker Prize longlist - a successful follow up to Natasha's debut novel Assembly - which also netted her a number of honours.
Natasha's path to authorship was a little atypical - she read mathematics at Cambridge University and spend a decade working in finance.
Natasha will be appearing at the Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts in March. She talks to Kathryn about what sparked her to write Universality.
