Whirling monologue

• The unnamed narrator is an Australian artist,
  who moved to London in the late 1980s to escape her difficult, estranged family in Sydney.
• Teun holds strongly critical views – at least, in the narrator’s account – of her family and old friends.
• The plot is more complex than it seems at first, because virtually all of its major events occur in the background and are reported second-hand in the narrator’s anxiously whirling monologue.
• She ultimately protests a public lecture by Lord, staging a “splattered body intervention”, which seems to be a decades-delayed response to the undergraduate happening.

Trans-generational effects

• Craig’s exegetical writing on her own work is about anorexia, trauma, and trauma’s durational and trans-generational effects.
• For these characters, past trauma lives in the present and can only be repeated and responded to.
• This becomes clear when Eileen (yet another punning name) disappears and the narrator visits her family to track her down.
• It also invokes material that recalls, but does not quite replicate, the key scenario of Since the Accident.
