From the author of the highly acclaimed Assembly comes another searing deconstruction of language, power and the erasing of truth, as a journalist's exposé of a brutal murder on a Yorkshire farm raises more questions than it answers.
In the new novel from the author of Assembly, a viral longread exposé raises more questions than it answers.
Remember - words are your weapons, they're your tools, your currency.
On a Yorkshire farm, a man is brutally bludgeoned with a solid gold bar.
A plucky young journalist sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the attack, connecting the dots between an amoral banker landlord, an iconoclastic columnist, and a radical anarchist movement. She solves the mystery, but her viral longread exposé raises more questions than it answers.
Universality is a twisty, slippery descent into the rhetoric of truth and power. Through a voyeuristic lens, it focuses on words: what we say, how we say it, and what we really mean.The follow-up novel to Natasha Brown's Assembly is a compellingly nasty celebration of the spectacular force of language. It dares you to look away.
