Synopsis

This collection of short pieces from one of Australia's most inventive writers responds to, riffs on, adapts, and reimagines moments in famous texts from nearly three thousand years of literature. From Euripides' Alkestis to Woolf's Orlando, taking in quantum theory, Jephthah's Daughter, medieval werewolves, public records of bawdy behaviour, Charles Dickens, and Chernobyl liquidators along the way, these 'interferences' remind us slyly, beautifully, and thoughtfully, of what we miss and what is taken for granted in the great texts of the canon.
