While I found the whole book to be fascinating, I was most interested in the author's assessment of Barnes's Nightwood. Anyone who has read Nightwood knows that it's a challenging and, at times, apparently distorted text. Goodspeed-Chadwick channels that distortion--she explains its purpose. That is, the apparently bizarre and deviant acts we see in Nightwood (such as Nora barking on the floor at the end of the novel) are connected to wider issues--in this case, the (embodied) female experience of war and trauma--that are both historically and critically grounded.
For anyone who has spent any time at all studying literature, or for anyone who might want to do so in the future, this is an excellent read. I highly recommend it!
