A Flat Place by Noreen Masud Paperback Book

Description: A Flat Place by Noreen Masud Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Beautiful and haunting, a personal journey through Britains flatlands and a reckoning with the painful memories and hidden histories they containNoreen Masud has always loved flat landscapes - their stark beauty, their formidable calm, their refusal to cooperate with the human gaze. They reflect her inner world- the flat place she carries inside herself, emotional numbness and memory loss as symptoms of childhood trauma. But as much as Britains landscapes provide solace for suffering, they are also uneasy places for a Scottish-Pakistani woman, representing both an inheritance and a dispossession.Pursuing this paradox across the wide open plains that she loves, Noreen weaves her impressions of the natural world with the poetry, folklore and history of the land, and with recollections of her own early life, rendering a startlingly strange, vivid and intimate account of a post-traumatic, post-colonial landscape - a seemingly flat and motionless place which is nevertheless defiantly alive. Author Biography Noreen Masud is a lecturer in twentieth century literature at the University of Bristol, and an AHRC/BBC New Generation Thinker. A Flat Place, her first trade book, was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award the, the Womens Prize for Non-Fiction, the Jhalak Prize and the Ondaatje Prize.
