Margins and Murmurations: the podcast
Fiction:Science Fiction
In my second novel, Conserve and Control, a resistance community use Polari as their communicative language. Parts of my first novel, Margins and Murmurations, were translated into Polari and it was the first language/slang that any of my work was translated into. Those translations and dialogues were written by my fabulous friend, Jess. In this conversation - recorded in 2018 during a book tour - we chat about the origins and future of Polari, the politics of sex work, class and queerness and Jess's personal journey with this incredibly fabulous queer cant slang.
