AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Julie is still in her teens. She is rich because her father is rich. Jean is not rich - he works for the family, in a lowly way - but he would quite like to be. They have this much in common: they would both like to rule their own lives, they both think they can get that from each other, and they both think sex is the way to do it.

'A red-blooded new Miss Julie about men and power, about extreme privilege, about freedom, and about how cruel we can be to each other in the interests of self-preservation.'

The Critic in the Episode 'Guilt' Jana Perkovic , 2016 single work essay
— Appears in: The Lifted Brow , September no. 31 2016; (p. 5-7) The Best of The Lifted Brow Volume Two 2017;
' "I stood there examining my body beneath the stream of water and decided, I don't want my body anymore. I was terrified of it, I didn't know what had been in it, if it had been contaminated, who had touched it. I wanted to take off my body like a jacket and leave it at the hospital with everything else. On that morning, all that I was told was that I had been found behind a dumpster, potentially penetrated by a stranger, and that I should get retested for HIV because results don't always show up immediately. But for now, I should go home and get back to my normal life. Imagine stepping back into the world with only that information."' (Publication abstract)
