Reviews

The great power of this text is its acceptance and delight in uncertainty, its fearless clinch with contradiction, its assertion that even the ethics of failure are to be feted. It is hoped that this book is widely read, no least on all those courses entitled Law and Literature. -- Feminist Legal Studies<br>
