Fiction
Paperback book with dust jacket
In a university psychology seminar, the narrator of this inventive and playful short novel is reminded, with some surprise, of an imaginary friend from her childhood—a stout and intrusive middle-aged woman. And so begins an intriguing and amusing escapade about the shifting nature of identity. Imagination intersects with notions of reality, biography and intellectual endeavour — this book reaches far more widely and deeply than the compact number of its pages.

She has taught philosophy and creative writing at Australian universities and has written several books of fiction and non-fiction.
