Lara Pawson: Object Lessons

A timer, a toaster, a squirrel, a toenail – the reviews all agree: after reading Lara Pawson’s electrifying Goldsmith’s Prize-shortlisted Spent Light, you’ll never look at ordinary objects the same way again. In the words of her narrator, ‘Everything in this damned world calls for indignation.’ Pawson talks with us about her startling, unconstrained novel and the web of violent and beautiful associations encoded in all things.
