Women's Prize finalist and A Flat Place author Noreen Masud on living in a sick world

This year is the inaugural international celebration of women’s non-fiction writing for the Women's Prize and the Heritage Reads Book Club was one of six groups chosen to read and discuss the wonderful shortlisted books. And we are fortunate enough to speak to the author of the book we have been reading.
Born in Pakistan, Noreen Masud is a lecturer in twentieth-century literature at the University of Bristol. In 2020, she was named as one of the BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s 10 New Generation Thinkers. Her work has been published in The Times Literary Supplement and Salon and her monograph "Stevie Smith and the Aphorism: Hard Language" won The Modernist Studies Association's First Book Prize in 2022. A Flat Place was shortlisted for the 2023 Charlotte Aitken Young Writer of the Year Award and was a Book of the Year in The New Yorker, The Guardian and the Sunday Times. This year, it was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction.
