Description

Combining feminist theories, X-Files fandom, and memoir, Enjoy Me Among My Ruins draws together a kaleidoscopic archive of Juniper Fitzgerald's experiences as a queer sex-working mother.

Plumbing the major events that shaped her life, and interspersing her childhood letters written to cult icon Gillian Anderson, this experimental manifesto contends with dominant narratives placed upon marginalised people, ultimately rejecting a capitalist system that demands our purity and submission over our survival.
