Fiona Mozley's Debut Novel, A Dark Landscape of Rural England

Midday on WNYC | Jan 17, 2018

Fiona Mozley discusses her novel Elmet, a finalist for the Man Booker Prize. It tells the story of a family living an isolated, self-sufficient life in Elmet, a corner of Yorkshire. But after a catastrophic event occurs, it becomes clear the family’s solitary idyll will not last and their way of life is threatened.

Event: Mozley will be giving a reading and will be in conversation with author Hallgrimur Helgason at McNally Jackson Bookstore on January 18 at 7 p.m. moderated by Arianna Rebolini, the Books Editor at Buzzfeed News.
