Riassunto

Heterosexuality in contemporary novels, re-examined using the frameworks of feminism and queer theory. Drawing on feminist and queer theories of sex, gender and sexuality, this study focuses on female identities at odds with heterosexual norms. In particular, it explores narratives in which the conventional equation between heterosexuality, reproductive sexuality and female identity is questioned.

Recensione:

Rachel Carroll makes us 'see' heterosexuality in new and different ways so that we can no longer take it as read. The novels chosen for discussion make interesting bedfellows and the analysis is distinctive and fresh: this will be essential reading for anyone working in contemporary fiction, gender and sexuality. --Dr Susan Watkins, School of Cultural Studies, Leeds Metropolitan University
