The excerpt from Dorothy Allison’s Trash was definitely a moving piece. Perhaps it was the fact that I was just reading a few paragraphs of the novel, but it at times was very difficult for me to extinguish the gender between the different characters. It eventually became apparent when they started discussing who they had slept with or by the pronouns that Allison used. In any case, I definitely found the piece moving in an emotional way. I wish I had more background information on the novel or that I had read the whole thing to give a proper response to it but being as that is not the case I am going to assume what is happening. It kind of seems as though the three different sections are related to one another but are being told by different point of views. If this is the case then that would make the novel extremely interesting to read as most books are from the POV of just one narrator.
