- Description
- Examining the works of Gertrude Stein, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Jane Smiley, Dorothy Allison and Sapphire this book argues that the plausibility of an incest story depends upon a shifting set of narrative conventions and cultural expectations. As contexts of telling incest have changed, so too have the tasks of those who tell and those who listen.
