In this 'in conversation' event, author Noreen Masud talks about her Women's Prize for Non-Fiction shortlisted book A Flat Place: about how flat landscapes in Scotland, England and Pakistan offer her a language for strange, unarticulated kinds of life and experience. The book ranges through Orkney, the Cambridgeshire Fens, Suffolk, Morecambe Bay and Newcastle Moor, finding in these apparently 'dull' and empty spaces, a new way of thinking about 'emptiness' and 'blankness' in personal and postcolonial trauma.
