Sobre IBD

Can there be a righteous murder? What is the perfect crime? At what point is revenge against homophobia justified? Set during World War I and the 1918 Spanish Flu, Pansies’ Revenge explores these questions.A book group is reading Crime and Punishment and becomes involved in what crime and punishment means to queers and lesbians, pacifists and free-thinkers in a time of war and contagion. Two pro-war proselytisers and virulent homophobes disappear off the streets of Wellington. For months they have been publicly vilifying 'pansies'.Pansies’ Revenge probes the soul and passion of a city gripped by fear and highlights the record of homophobia, and its resistance, in New Zealand at the time. Romance, love, revenge, women’s rights, pacifism, anti-intellectualism, sex, and gender - the novel jumps into all the issues and shows that a hundred years later we may not have changed as much as we think we have.
