Writing Sex: Juliet Jacques

Writing Sex: Juliet Jacques
WRITING SEX is a series of short interviews with contemporary writers who are breaking new ground in writing about sex and sexuality. Sometimes ribald but always smart, these writers push the limits of our ability to imagine what sex is, what it means, and what it could be.

Juliet Jacques is a writer and filmmaker based in London. She has published three books: Rayner Heppenstall: A Critical Study (Dalkey Archive, 2007); Trans: A Memoir (Verso, 2015); and a volume of short stories, Variations (Influx Press, 2021). She has also contributed to volumes published by Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, And Other Stories, and others.
