Green plantains and chocolate ice cream cones, banana jam and beef fudge, pomegranate soup and raspberry buns---each of these foods plays an important role in a contemporary fictional text. Rewriting the Kitchen proposes that for feminist literary critics, a close look at literary representations of cooking and eating can offer powerful insights. Food can be used to dramatize notions of place and identity; food can illuminate family dynamics, neglected forms of labor, and issues of embodiment. Fiction writers can use images of cooking and eating to explore issues of gender, race, sexuality, and social class. This dissertation seeks to demonstrate some ways that images of food in contemporary fiction can reflect and complicate social issues. But the project is also crucially invested in examining relationships between cooking and writing, and between reading and eating. Forms like the novel with recipes and the food-centered literary anthology construct distinctive reading experiences that reflect their relationships with forms like the recipe and the cookbook; these forms underscore the compelling parallels between the consumption of food and the consumption of texts. Rewriting the Kitchen attempts to address the presence of food in literature on both formal and cultural fronts.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a In its first half, the dissertation focuses on two food-centered genres, while its second half examines specific forms of cooking and eating. The project's first chapter, "Feasts of Words," examines an interesting modern publishing phenomenon: the proliferation of literary anthologies that focus on food and cooking. The second chapter, "'Anyway, Here's How You Make It': Reading Novels with Recipes," demonstrates that the novel with recipes is a unique genre that writers have manipulated to varied and fascinating effect. "Between Mortar and Pestle," the project's third chapter, explores the ways that two Caribbean-American writers, Audre Lorde and Edwidge Danticat, use the link between food and sexuality to explore their characters' relationships with their mothers and their Caribbean homelands. And in its final chapter, "Hokey-Pokey, Penny A Lump," the project suggests that a wide range of twentieth-century American cultural forms have used associations between men and ice cream in order to trouble notions of masculinity.
