Introduced by Norena Shopland

In this talk, Professor Kirsti Bohata introduces Swansea writer, Amy Dillwyn, and her radical fiction. In her novels, Amy Dillwyn created male avatars (often criminals) to allow her to explore genderqueer identities and lesbian desires. Later, these avatars become female characters (still criminal) who occupy male storylines. This talk is suitable for a general audience and all are welcome.
