In the 1990s, the male confessional novel, most prominently
represented by Nick Hornby "(High Fidelity), " but also by writers
such as Tim Lott "(White City Blue)" and Mike Gayle "(My Legendary
Girlfriend), " articulated the structure of feeling of the male
generation in their late twenties/early-to-mid-thirties. Ochsner
presents the advent of the male confessional novel in a fresh and
yet critical light, challenging the feminist claim that the genre
should be understood as a backlash against feminism and a relapse
into sexism. By applying an eclectic theoretical framework, ranging
from Raymond Williams to Anthony Giddens to Judith Butler and
Jacques Derrida, the study illustrates why the male confessional
novel is too complex a phenomenon to be solely interpreted in terms
of retrosexism. It convincingly shows how the multitude of
postmodern gender scripts adds to the crisis of identity and to the
problematic nature of clearly defined gender relationships.
