A Night in with Madeleine Gray
Join writer and critic Madeleine Gray as she presents her debut novel Green Dot, a sharp exploration of workplace relationships, desire, and the search for meaning in your mid-twenties.
Hera is in her mid-twenties, which seems young to everyone except people in their mid-twenties.
Since leaving school, she has been trying to kick and scream into existence a life she cares about, but with little success so far. Until she meets Arthur.
He works with her, he is older than her, he is also married. But in her soulless office—the large cold room she feels destined to spend her life in—he is a source of much-needed sustenance.
And though Hera has previously dated women, she soon falls headlong into a workplace romance that will quickly consume her life.
Delving into the complexities of writing about modern relationships, office dynamics, and the particular challenge of capturing a generation caught between irony and earnestness, Madeleine will share how she crafted a novel that explores the messy reality of modern love and self-discovery.
“Brilliant. Riveting. Sharp. Funny. Dark. I want to give Green Dot all the adjectives but will content myself with saying it is one of the best books you will read all year.” Elizabeth Day
