Alice Hill-Woods
The British experimental writer, Ann Quin (1936-73), has gained notoriety in recent years for her unconventional prose that decidedly swims against the current of canonical writing from the time. While she lived a life that strayed beyond heteronormative ideals, scholars rarely categorize her as a queer author. Her fragmentary novel Three (1966) follows a tripartite relationship between a couple and their young female lodger, and its plot and form leave much to be queried. Taking an approach informed by queer theory, this article positions Three as a distinctly queer novel, using disorientation as a lens for reading Quin's experimentation with language. Mediated by its evocatively arranged garden objects, temporal flux, disorientating losses and gaps, and utopian dreams and reveries encoded in complex syntax, Three operates as a text with plentiful potential. Three calls forth both the uncomfortable and painful dimensions of nonnormative desires, as well as making clear what ambitious experiments in fiction can do: that is, propose a different, more queer-tender world.
