dc.description.abstract | Barbara Gowdy’s 1996 novel Mister Sandman centers on the mysteriously silent figure
of Joan Cannary, a mentally disabled child who yet does not become a spectacle of the grotesque
in the mode quite standard for representations of the disabled female figures, as Rosemarie Garland
Thomson noticed in her magisterial study Extraordinary Bodies: Figuring Physical Disability
in American Culture and Literature. In her disability Gowdy’s Joan does not constitute
a metaphor of the condition of her family, either, despite the transgressions they are prone to
devote themselves to. The novel offers an open-minded outlook on transgression as a means
of liberating oneself from the social constraints and from the self-imposed limitations. Joan’s
eternal girlhood makes her a lens for the family members’ tendency to transgress against the
norms, which is ultimately received with affirmation. Her figure offers a valuable commentary
on other texts by Gowdy, which present a discourse on the liminality of human body and on the
boundaries of identity. | pl_PL |
