Women's Experimental Writing considers six contemporary authors who
use experimental methods and negative modes of critique in their
fiction and feminism. The authors covered are Valerie Solanas,
Kathy Acker, Theresa Cha, Chantel Chawaf, Jeanette Winterson, and
Lynda Barry. These writers all share a commitment to combining
extreme content with formally radical techniques in order to enact
varieties of gender, sex, race, class and nation-based experience
that, they suggest, may only be "represented" accurately through
the experimental unmaking of dominant structures of rationality.
Ellen Berry extends the anti-social negative critique predominant
in queer studies by offering an alternative archive of feminist
negative literary practices and explores the consequences of
joining an anti-social critique with radical innovations in
literary and cultural forms. She argues that the radical aesthetic
practices the authors employ are central to the emergence of
contemporary Western feminisms and in doing so rectifies a critical
neglect of contemporary experimental writing by women, especially
in politicized forms, within the still-emerging postmodern canon.
