The author explains the construction of narrator -reader relationships in recent American novels written about adolescent women and marketed to adolescent women. Such levels of imagined friendship, however, lead to contradictory cultural expectations for the young women so deeply obsessed with reading these novels. The author coins the term "narrative intimacy" to refer to the implicit relationship between narrator and reader that depends on an imaginary disclosure and trust between the story's narrator and the reader. Through critical examination, the inherent contradictions between this enclosed, imagined relationship and the real expectations for adolescent women's relations prove to be problematic. In many novels for young women, adolescent female narrators construct conceptions of the adolescent woman reader, constructions that allow the narrator to understand the reader as a confidant, a safe and appropriate location for disclosure. At the same time, such novels offer frequent warnings against the sort of unfettered confession the narrators perform. Friendships are marked as potential sites of betrayal and rejection. Romantic relationships are presented as inherently threatening to physical and emotional health. And so, the narrator turns to the reader for an ally who cannot judge. The reader, in turn, may come to depend upon narrative intimacy in order to vicariously explore her own understanding of human expression and bonds.--description provided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 12, 2015). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 American fiction|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85004317|y21st century|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002012478|xHistory and criticism.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 0 Intimacy (Psychology) in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh94005236 650 0 Young adult literature, American|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010119891 650 0 Teenage girls|xBooks and reading|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010004823 650 0 Adolescence in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh85000953 650 0 Girls in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85055024 650 7 American fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 807048 650 7 Intimacy (Psychology) in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/977725 650 7 Young adult literature, American.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1183139 650 7 Teenage girls|xBooks and reading.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1145417 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM|xChildren's Literature.|2bisacsh 650 7 Adolescence in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/797004 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM|xWomen Authors.|2bisacsh 650 7 Girls in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 942914 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM|xAmerican|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDay, Sara K.|tReading like a girl. |dJackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2013 |z9781617038112|w(DLC) 2012045553 830 0 Children's Literature Association series.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013002607 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=610509|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
