'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.' Susan Watkins, School of Cultural Studies, Leeds Metropolitan University Presents new perspectives on representations of female heterosexuality in selected contemporary British and American novels 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. It provides insightful close readings of acclaimed novels by British and American authors, including Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex, Zoë Heller's Notes on a Scandal, A. M. Homes's The End of Alice, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Alan Warner's Morvern Callar and Sarah Waters' Affinity. Topics ranging from spinsterhood and intergenerational sexuality to transgender and human cloning provide the focal point for a timely exploration of the dynamic relationship between feminist and queer theory. Rachel Carroll is Principal Lecturer in English at Teesside University. Her edited collection, Adaptation in Contemporary Culture: Textual Infidelities, was published in 2009.
