Works about this Work

The Hot Desk : Working Hot by Mary Fallon Fiona Kelly McGregor , 2019 single work essay
— Appears in: Sydney Review of Books , February 2019;

'You have to remember things were different back then. In 1989, when Working Hot was published, homosexual acts in NSW had been decriminalised for only five years; in Tasmania they would remain illegal for another eighteen. Teachers, public servants, most particularly employees of the Catholic Church, were often sacked if their homosexuality was disclosed. The films In the Realm of the Senses and John Waters’ uncut Pink Flamingos were banned.' (Introduction)

Alison Ravenscroft compares the original 1989 Sybylla Co-operative Press [and] Publications edition of Mary Fallon's Working Hot with the new Vintage editon published in 2000. She looks at the reading of the book in 1989 within the Australian feminist context of that time; and a reading of it in the context of early 21st century critical cultural practice. Ravenscroft also looks at the design and 'repackaging' of the new edition and how this could compound a misreading of its narrative structure and meaning
