Brisbane Writers Festival: Lucia Osborne-Crowley in conversation with Jessica Rudd

12 MARCH 2025

Old Museum Brisbane

With My Body Keeps Your Secrets, Lucia Osborne-Crowley brought searing intelligence to bear on the subject of sexual trauma and its long-term consequences.

In The Lasting Harm she foregrounds the testimony of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, in a visceral work of court reportage that exposes the shortcomings of the justice system and the courage of four key witnesses.

In conversation with Jessica Rudd, Osborne-Crowley illuminates the human tragedy at the heart of this sensationalised trial, giving voice to the survivors and making an urgent case for criminal justice reform.
