Published by Serpent’s Tail and selected for Feminist Book Fortnight, it places Acker’s experimental writing beside an important group of British feminist novelists working across realism, politics and formally disruptive fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe allocation is part of the structure: Acker receives humility, Fell chastity and Roberts charity. Moral categories become editorial prompts, while seven distinct writers are formatted into one collective proposition.
