Abstract

Jeannette Winterson's Sexing the Cherry is an important example for postmodern narrative strategies. It employs such postmodern techniques as multiple perspectives, grafting and transplantation of literary genres, hybridization, destabilization of spatio-temporal dimension alluding to assumptions of quantum physics, and a challenge to traditional categories of a unifi ed and heterosexual subjectivity. Consequently, Sexing the Cherry mixes reality with fantasy and the fantastic, and the boundaries of any sort are breached. The characters/narrators are in search of alternatives to current positions/ conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
