| Sumario: | An essay is presented that seeks to analyze Janice Galloway's second novel "Foreign Parts (1994)" as a revolutionary text whose apparent light-heartedness covers a powerful challenge to historical and cultural modes of portraying femininity. It aims to contest the theatrical of the female body as an object of desire generated by the male gaze. It implies that an author's seemingly quieter texts can be marginalised by the acclaim given to dramatic predecessors. |
