The Discreet Dash - Georgina Starr

Leaning back again on the chaise longue with something vaguely resembling cheese-dust melting on her tongue, Dora felt like a psychiatric patient about to undergo analysis, she was not at all comfortable with this new role...

It's London in 2001. The lives of two strangers, Dora and Susan become connected via a 1950s movie resulting in collective time-travel through film fictions, dreams, and hallucinatory realities. The result? A series of sonic events leading to the birth of an unknown species...

Drawing on historical female mythologies including The Legend of St Ursula, the Immaculate Conception, and ancient mother cults, The Discreet Dash is the debut novel of acclaimed visual artist Georgina Starr.
