Event overview
FICTION AND LIFE WRITING: Two current postgraduates discuss their debut books, published this month
Jennifer Nadel and Kate Norbury
Jennifer Nadel completed the Goldsmiths' MA in 2011 and is now studying for a PhD. Before coming out as a fiction writer, she trained as a barrister and then became a journalist reporting for the BBC, ITV and Channel Four News. She is also a parliamentary candidate for the Green Party. Set during the sweltering hot summer of 1976, her first novel Pretty Thing (published by Little Brown) is a coming-of-age novel, a story of first encounters, dark obsession, broken trust and last chances. It pits true love against real life and asks: is love really all you need?
Kate Norbury trained as a film editor with the BBC and has worked extensively in film and television. She did an MA in creative writing at UEA before beginning her PhD at Goldsmiths last September. Part memoir, part travelogue, her book The Fish Ladder (Philip Pullman: ‘beautiful, strange intoxicating’, Jo Brand: ‘truly compelling’) is a story of self-discovery, told through journeys on foot along British rivers. Her publisher is Bloomsbury, and the Observer recently named her as the ‘rising star’ of non-fiction for 2015.
