Eggshell Skull is a 2018 non-fiction memoir[1] by Australian author Bri Lee. It details Lee's experiences as a judge's associate in Brisbane's District Court of Queensland, where she oversees many cases, including those involving sexual harassment and assault. Two years into her job, she returns as the complainant in her own case.[2]
First published in Australia in July 2018 by Allen & Unwin, the memoir has been widely well received,[3] including winning the People's Choice Award at the 2019 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards,[4] and being a recipient of the Davitt Award for debut novel[5] and the Ned Kelly Award for best true crime[6] in the same year.
