Sinopse

LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2024 
 
Are we more like a coffee bean, a carrot or an egg? What happens to us when we are boiled in the trials and tribulations of life? 
 
Jessica Miller is fascinated by the somewhat perplexing tendency of humans to end their own lives, but she secretly believes such acts may not be that bad after all. Or at least, she did. 
 
Jessica is coming to terms with her own relationships, and reflecting on what it means to be queer, when a single event throws everything she once believed into doubt. Can she still defend the act? 
 
‘In death obsessed scientist Jess, Effie Black has created one of the freshest, most engaging characters I’ve encountered in years. In Defence of the Act is a whip-smart exploration of what it means to truly live.Fresh, thought-provoking and, at times, surprisingly funny.’
