Universality by Natasha Brown
LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE * "A bold and memorable achievement."--The Booker Prize 2025 judgesRemember--words are your weapons, they're your tools, your currency: a twisty, slippery descent into the rhetoric of power, hailed as "a nesting doll of satire that leaves readers uncertain where their loyalties lie" (Financial Times)
"Original, vital, and unputdownable."--Tess Gunty, National Book Award-winning author of The Rabbit Hutch
AN NPR AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Late one night on a Yorkshire farm, in the midst of an illegal rave, a young man is nearly bludgeoned to death with a solid gold bar.
An ambitious young journalist sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the attack, connecting the dots between an amoral banker landlord, an iconoclastic newspaper columnist, and a radical anarchist movement that has taken up residence on the farm. She solves the mystery, but her viral exposé raises more questions than it answers. Through a voyeuristic lens, and with a simmering power, Universality focuses on words: what we say, how we say it, and what we really mean.
A thrilling novel from one of the most acclaimed young novelists working today, Universality is a compelling, unsettling celebration of the spectacular, appalling force of language. It dares you to look away.
USA Today bestselling author, Natasha Brown has always been distracted by her imagination. The books she read in the dark past bedtime created her excitement for fantasy worlds. Once she started writing and discovered she could create her own, there was no stopping her. By day, Natasha's an assistant teacher at an elementary school, and by night she's a book cover designer. Her weekends are spent writing and spending time with family.
