In Je Nathana�l, first published in 2006, Nathana�l explores ways in which language constrains the body, shackles it to gender, and proposes instead a different way of reading, where words are hermaphroditic and transform desire in turn.

In this way, Je Nathana�l is a book of paradox, negating itself as it comes into being.
