nearly drowns among the surging horses, but finds her way out. In Barnes's version of near-death, a sexually proficient but unconventional male, Wendell, both drowns in bestial communion and resurfaces to provide endless cycles of disappointment. Sophia (who strongly resembles Barnes's grandmother Zadel) tells him that Julie, the child he has dismissed as "a hussy and a stubborn girl," "has always been you . . . you are exactly alike, except . . . that she is unhung, and you are slung like a man; it will make the difference." Wendell wants "to get back to me" in the conversation with his mother. But Sophia tries "to go beyond you" (22223). The struggle to get beyond Wendell, the father who has partially disrupted patriarchy but kept himself at the center of creationthat is the knot of Ryder. Untangling and stitching over it is the future of the woman writer, and the feminist reader of Barnes's texts.
