Set in Sydney in the late seventies, Inez Baranay’s witty, satirical first novel takes us into the life of a classy call girl whose work entails servicing well-heeled business men who ply her with champagne, dinner parties and, often as not, their life stories…the name of the game is illusion and illusion is the theme of the novel…..Wittily, humorously, Between Careers takes a close look at the moral values of both the ancient profession and of more conventional ways of living….. The prose is spare and sparkling…
-Marian Eldridge, The Canberra Times, June 24, 1989
Between Careers looks at how sex functions in contemporary society - how it is bought and sold and conceptualised. It belongs to that elusive genre, intelligent erotica … Baranay’s prose is precise, clear and tends towards the epigrammatic. … The narrative moves quickly and bristles with sharp social observations. …The result is stylish, provocative and wonderfully different.
