"What happens when Clint Eastwood meets Scheherazade of A Thousand and One Nights? Austrian writers Marlene Streeruwitz and Lilian Faschinger embrace contemporary culture in their novels, using real-life actors, rock musicians, American TV heroines and even cartoon characters to populate their work. They also rely on popular genres such as stream-of-consciousness, sci-fi and chick-lit. At the centre of all of their novels are female protagonists struggling with socially prescribed roles from this contemporary world. While these references heighten their appeal for a wide readership, both writers actually write against, not with, these precursors. Using close intertextual readings of six novels written between 1986 and 2004, the author demonstrates the way intertextual practices in the works of Streeruwitz and Faschinger subvert the very 'pre-texts' upon which they depend. In particular, both writers interrogate depictions of female agency and subjectivity and challenge dominant ideologies rooted in patriarchal discourses. Drawing on multiple strands of intertextual, feminist and poststructuralist theory, this study probes the extent to which these interventions have the potential to be effective and relevant tools of political, feminist critique."--
