Author: Olivia Sudjic
After the release of 'Sympathy', her debut novel which explores surveillance and identity in the internet age, Olivia Sudjic found herself under the microscope. Trapped in an anxious spiral of self-doubt, she became alienated from herself and her work. 'Exposure' examines the damaging assumptions that attend female artists, as well as the strategies by which one might escape them – drawing on Sudjic's life as well as the work of writers like Elena Ferrante, Maggie Nelson and Rachel Cusk. Blaming her own mental-health masked a wider problem that still persists: the tendency for writing by women, whether fiction or personal testimony, to be invalidated on the grounds of sex. It is an essay on the anxiety epidemic, autofiction and internet feminism.
ISBN 9781999922337. Peninsula Press. pb. 128 pages. 14.2 x 15.8 cm.
