Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Increasingly, there is more interest in studying the perverted sexual relationship; and their causes and effects. The social and psychological impact of such relationships should not be overlooked. Writers who write about such topics are usually inspired by personal experiences; the semi-autobiographical element is usually present in such works, whether Lesbian or gay, the novelist uses his story as a kind of thereby or catharsis in an attempt to seek equilibrium. In her novel Bastard Out of Carolina, Dorothy Allison tells a story of a girl who represents the novelist herself.
