A philosophical matrix for this article is Judith Butler's reflection on cultural construction of sex and gender, performances of gender, and a power of interpretation. Reinig resigns in her novel from the narrator's authority, but not from a narrator itself. In this way, on the one hand, she strips off a firm narrative perspective and, on the other hand, she plays with the reader's expectations by evoking them with told stories.", pages = "187-198(12)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/rodopi/abng/2001/00000049/00000001/art00008" }
