Feminism & Recovered Voices: The Iliac Crest, a Gothic Novella
On a dark and stormy night, two mysterious women invade an unnamed narrator's house, where they proceed to ruthlessly question their host's identity. While the two women are strangely intimate, even inventing a secret language, they harass the narrator by claiming repeatedly that they know his grreatest secret: that he is, in fact, a woman. Published for the first time in English, this Gothic tale destabilizes male-female binaries and subverts literary tropes. With translator Heather Cleary.
