An extract from The Fictional Woman: The year is 2002, I am twenty-eight years old, and I am sitting in a small, unfamiliar hotel room hooked up to a lie-detector machine. Pneumo tubes are wrapped firmly around my chest to measure my respiration, a tight armband sphygmomanometer measures my blood pressure and a clip pinching the end of my index finger measures tiny changes in my perspiration. Standing over me is a journalist from the Australian newspaper. Across the table is a professional polygraph examiner – a former Victorian police officer who normally tests suspected paedophiles, rapists and killers. He is testing me to see whether or not I actually write my own books. womensagenda.au/talking-about/opinions/tara-moss-i-had-to-prove-i-write-my-own-books-facts-still-needed-to-end-assumptions-about-women/201405294096#.U4g1zyjvMwF
