The book critically explores the representation of sexuality in contemporary literature, emphasizing its historical and social dimensions influenced by feminism, queer theory, and postcolonial studies. It features essays on both mainstream and lesser-known writers from various countries, including the U.S., U.K., New Zealand, and Canada. By examining diverse literary works, it reveals how sexuality intersects with power dynamics and identity categories such as class, race, and nationality. The collection aims to illuminate current understandings of sexuality and inspire new possibilities for its representation in literature.

This collection explores the gendered dynamics of sex and the body, particularly embodied deviations from normative cultural scripts.
