dc.description.abstractAn experimental novel, based on the critical theories of Jacques Lacan and Helena Cixous, which explores the exclusion of women from the cultural ideal, and their redefinition as cultural "others" in Western American Society. The novel incorporates three separate narratives: two first person narratives (Paula Tjunic and Kate Hargrove) and one third person narrative. The two first person narratives examine entire lifetimes. The third person narrative recounts one night in a bar. The first person narratives are written in opposing columns, and are designed in blocks and gaps so that each character can be heard separately, and the reader can interact with the text as a third cultural "other." A short examination of the theories of cultural "other" in relation to women in the American West, is included in the preface of the novel.en
