Ambiguity and apophatic bodies in Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body
Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction, Vol.52(4), pp.434-443
2011
Abstract
In this article, I read Jeanette Winterson's novel Written on the Body in relation to Christian and deconstructionist concepts of negative theology. I argue that the impossibly gender undeclared narrator of the novel transforms the sexual relations of the novel into something simultaneously transcendent and immanent.
