Notes

1. In a manner discussed by Murray, T.H. (1997) What Do we Mean by Narrative Ethics?, in Stories and Their Limits, ed. Hilde Lindemann, Routledge, New York, 3-17.

2. Lines of the Chorus from The Women of Troy.

3. For example, S. Bordo (Unbearable Weight), I.M. Young (Throwing Like a Girland Other Essays) and A. Lorde (The Cancer Journals). Surprisingly, Komesaroff's debt to the traditions of narrative ethics and feminist critiques of the body is nowhere addressed.

4. Arras, J.D. (1997) Nice Story, But So What?, in Nelson, ed., op cit., 65-88.
