Field Ramble with Holly Dawson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode Holly Dawson speaks to us about her debut All of Us Atoms. Faced with the prospect of losing her memory Holly set out to revisit the moments that had shaped her, from the earliest recollections of childhood to her diagnosis.
What follows is the documenting of a ‘felt’ life. In a series of essays, letters and short stories she weaves together memory, dreams, and reality, grasping hold of the consolations of science and discovering a deep love for the forgettable and forgotten moment.
At its heart All of Us Atoms is a rejection of the forms and rationalities we are offered for something altogether more satisfying. An archeological dig site, where Holly turns over the soil and sieves it through her fingers to rediscover what’s there, before its lost.
‘Brilliant, brave, wild and marvellous.’
Juliet Nicholson
‘To read Holly’s writing is to live it.’
Helena Bonham Carter
‘I loved this. The smarts, lyricisms, surprises and deep humanity of it all.’
Susie Orbach
