LEE KOFMAN The Dangerous Bride in-conversation with Krissy Kneen Monday 13 October 6.00 for 6.30pm What do you do when your husband claims to be madly in love with you, but doesn’t desire you sexually? When your therapist is more interested in opening an online sex-toy shop with your husband than in saving your marriage? Do you try yet another counsellor, get divorced or settle for a sexless marriage? Set during Lee’s first years in Australia, it is also the story of migration, and an exploration of the eternal conflict between our desire for security, but also for foreign places—in love and elsewhere. Lee Kofman is the Israeli-Australian author of three fiction books in Hebrew. Her short fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry in English has appeared around the world in Best Australian Stories, Best Australian Essays, Griffith Review, Heat, Westerly, Creative Nonfiction (US), Brand (UK) and Malahat Review (Canada) among many others. She holds an MA in Creative Writing (University of Melbourne) and a PhD in Social Sciences (RMIT). She also blogs about the writing process and her blog was a finalist for Best Australian Blogs 2014.
