Talk by Linda Jaivin

Inspired by a true story, A Most Immoral Woman is a surprising, witty and erotic tale of sexual and other obsessions set in the floating world of Westerners in China and Japan at the turn of the twentieth century.  At its heart stands an original and devastatingly honest woman, as seen from the perspective of the extraordinary man who was drawn to love her.

Linda Jaivin is the internationally bestselling author of comic-erotic cult classic Eat Me and the Infernal Optimist, among other novels.  She is also a translator (from Chinese) essayist, cultural commentator and playwright.  Her nonfiction writing on China includes the acclaimed The Monkey and the Dragon. Linda is a visiting fellow in the Pacific and Asian History Division, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the Australian National University.
