问题            Feminist critics have often pondered whether a postmodern language may
       be articulated that obviates the essentialist arrogance of much modernist and
       some feminist discourse and does not reduce feminism to silences or a purely
Line    negative and reactionary stance. This ideal may be actualized in a discourse that
(5)     recognizes itself as historically situated, as motivated by values and, thus,
       political interests, and as a human practice without transcendent justification.
       The author Dorothy Allison meets these criteria by focusing on women who have
       been marginalized by  totalizing forces and  ideas,  while  simultaneously
       reminding the reader, through the wide range of women that she portrays and
(10)    their culpability in her protagonists’ predicaments, that unlike pure and
       transcendent heroes, women are real characters and morally complex. Allison
       insists that humans are burdened with the responsibility of fashioning their own
       stories, quotidian as they may be, and while these will never offer the solace of
       transcendent justification, the constant negotiation between the word and the
(15)    world avoids reticence on the one hand and the purely negative on the other.
