In this stylish and provocative collection of non-fiction, noted novelist Rosie Scott brings her distinctive voice to wide-ranging pieces on the obsessions, themes and experiences that have fuelled her writing. The language of sexuality, exotic journeys, drug taking, moral imagination in fiction, the experience of giving birth, the dishonesties of economic rationalism, an unconventional childhood in New Zealand and feral women heroines are just some of the topics she examines with the fearlessness, humour and passionate intelligence that are the hallmarks of her acclaimed writing.
