In the beginning when everything was very sexual we talked about our fantasies. She thought about having a guy for some of it. She thought about having a gun. I had gone through a lot to get away from guys so I admit that the thought of going back to them, even for a little adventure, was surprising and disconcerting … Ann Rower’s first book, If You’re a Girl, published by Semiotext(e)’s Native Agents series in 1991 in tandem with Cookie Mueller’s Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black, cemented her reputation as the Eve Babitz of lower Man...
The Death of Character
"Extremely well written, and exceedingly well informed, this is a work that opens a variety of important questions in sophisticated and theoretically nuanced ways.

Justice as Fittingness

Autotheory as Feminist Practice in Art, Writing, and Criticism
Autotheory--the commingling of theory and philosophy with autobiography--as a mode of critical artistic practice indebted to feminist writing and activism. In the 2010s, the term "autotheory" began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy.

Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.

Recalling Fiction's Cultural Context, Early Gothic and Utopian Romance
This study locates texts in their relevant temporal and cultural periods to disclose levels of meaning which have been lost to present readers. For the 18th century, it examines not only little known genres such as the Gothic Fragment and the Utopian Satire, but also demonstrates that contemporary writers satirized the first and gothicized the second.
