This startlingly original debut delves into the surreal, concealed
moments of a young womanhood. Helen Quah's voice is in part a
deep-calling into the complex distances between mother and daughter, in
part a twisted venture into the contradictions of romance. Dog Woman,
named after the series of artworks by Paula Rego, contorts language,
opening up a playfully dark and often humorous space of the fantastical
and otherwise unexplained.
