New York Times bestselling author Lauren Groff will discuss her new novel Matrix, with UEA alum and author of The Shore, Sara Taylor. Thoroughly modern in the writing, historically exacting in the detail, and fresh and feminist in its bones, Matrix tells the story of Marie de France, a queer woman who attempts to wield power in medieval Europe despite not fitting the gender ideals of the era.

‘She is an example of writers who can do everything – dialogue, structure, the throb and hum of inner life – so brilliantly.’
