Giant Despair Meets Hopeful: Kristevan Readings in Adolescent Fiction

by Martha Westwater

Evil, despair, and helplessness are persistent themes in recent young-adult fiction. Yet this bleakness needs not translate into depression and fear for vulnerable adolescents. Westwater reads six young-adult novels through Kristevan theory to find a glimmer of hope amidst our cultural crises.
