Interests
I am currently writing a book and completing a Creative Writing MA at Royal Holloway, which is why you’ll always catch me reading a new book, preferably fiction (has anyone actually finished Homo Deus?) Ask me about the time I met Zadie Smith in person. Or maybe don’t (the memory still stings.) Three books that I insist you read include LoveStar by Andri Snaer Magnason, The First Bad Man by Miranda July and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.
