Fiction and the Archive: An Interview with Juliet Jacques

Description
In February 2025, we sat down with Juliet Jacques, author of Trans: A Memoir (2015), Variations (2021), and The Woman in the Portrait (2024), among other works. We discussed her work, its scope, and its influences. We talked about trans experience and how that shapes and is shaped by fictional writing, the influence of political and artistic movements on Jacques' own fiction, modernist film and literature, trans and LGBTQ representation in the media, and much more. The emerging theme of the interview is that of the archive, which here stands as something to be researched, re-purposed, and invented anew, all with the aim of creating both a new aesthetic and drawing important political and cultural lessons. The interview was conducted by Joel Evans (School of English, University of Nottingham) in the company of a live audience.
