		I have chosen Patchwork Girl for my tutor text not only because I think it is one of the best of the new electronic fictions, but also because it is deeply concerned with the prospect hinted at in Points Seven and Eight, that a new medium will enact and express a new kind of subjectivity.
		In Patchwork Girl, the unconscious of eighteenth-century texts becomes the ground and surface for the specificity of this electronic text, which delights in pointing out that it was created not by a fetishized unique imagination but by many actors working in collaboration, including the "vaporous machinery" that no longer disappears behind a vaporous text.
		Patchwork Girl's emphasis on appropriation and transformation begins with the main character, who is reassembled from the female monster in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

	The Patchwork Girl of Oz, by L. Frank Baum; The Patchwork Girl Page 1
		The Patchwork Girl was taller than he, when she stood upright, and her body was plump and rounded because it had been so neatly stuffed with cotton.
		Margolotte had first made the girl's form from the patchwork quilt and then she had dressed it with a patchwork skirt and an apron with pockets in it-- using the same gay material throughout.
		There were almost too many patches on the face of the girl for her to be considered strictly beautiful, for one cheek was yellow and the other red, her chin blue, her forehead purple and the center, where her nose had been formed and padded, a bright yellow.

	_Patchwork Girl_: A Review
		The narrative is stitched together by this compendium of body parts and organs--a wickedly funny woman narrator--out of forgotten stories and a chorus of other discourses and voices, including her 'mother's' in the form of Mary Shelley's 'journal' and literary theorists' like Jacques Derrida.
		The graveyard that was the Patchwork Girl's cradle functions not only as her point of origin, but as her community and her family.
		As much intertext as author, her birth is retold in a bizarre interweaving of Frankenstein with Patchwork Girl of Oz where science and magic are given equal weight and where Mary's authorial voice--and skin--mingles with her creation's.

	Stitch Bitch: the patchwork girl
		Every page-moment is both expectant and memorializing, which is certainly one reason why I have buried the patchwork girl's body parts in separate plots in a zone called th cemetary, while in the story zone they are bumptious and ambulatory.
		It was not difficult, for example, to pry quotes from their sources, and mate them with other quotes in the "quilt" section of Patchwork Girl, where they take on a meaning that is not native to the originals.
		I would like to introduce a different kind of novel, the patchwork girl, a creature who's entirely content to be the turn of a kaleidoscope, an exquisite corpse, a field on which copulas copulate, the chance encounter of an umbrella and a sewing machine on an operating table.

	Page 2 : Review : 'Patchwork Girl' by Shelley Jackson : Pif No. 32 - January 2000
		In this section the monster ages greatly, moving from the eighteenth century to the twentieth in a single story space, which allows Jackson to speak in a way much more natural for her.
		When a character is "confronted in alternation with the roiling, scummy surface of the reeking bay and a high, aristocratic sky of a frivolous powdered blue," one wonders what the author was trying to accomplish.
		Patchwork Girl is at best a sort of intellectual "choose-your-own-adventure" story.

	Review : 'Patchwork Girl' by Shelley Jackson : Pif No. 32 - January 2000
		Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl creates a complex web of relations between sexuality, female empowerment, sewing, writing, bodies, and postmodern literary theory that ultimately add up to little more than an extended character sketch.
		The title page alone is a mess of connections; the title comes from The Patchwork Girl of Oz, a book by L. Frank Baum; and the second title, A Modern Monster, is a nod to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which Jackson uses as the inspiration for her work.
		The graveyard section could have been reduced to the single story space which gave a short message about piecemeal resurrection and a warning that the reader will have to sew the bits together to see the whole, which is more applicable to the text itself than to the anatomy of the monster.

	Clayton, "_Patchwork Girl_ in the Romantics Classroom", Romanticism and Contemporary Culture, Praxis Series, ...
		Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl takes as its premise that Mary Shelley's second monster, the female companion that Victor Frankenstein began creating but then destroyed, was secretly finished by Mary Shelley herself.
		Like most hypertexts, Patchwork Girl has no proper beginning or end, but it does have numerous narrative characteristics, including characters, settings, flashbacks, and shifting points of view, as well as temporally consecutive sequences, which arouse various kinds of affective response in the reader, such as curiosity, suspense, amusement, erotic tension, and surprise.
		Teaching hypertext presents its own set of instructional challenges. For people who are interested in experimenting with this medium, I have appended four recommendations for using hypertext in the classroom. The best way to look at or obtain a copy of Patchwork Girl is to go to the website of its publisher, Eastgate Systems, .

		We never have used my grandmother's many-colored patchwork quilt, handsome as it is, for we Munchkins do not care for any color other than blue, so it has been packed away in the chest for about a hundred years.
		But all Munchkins prefer blue to anything else and when my housework girl is brought to life she will find herself to be so many unpopular colors that she'll never dare be rebellious or impudent, as servants are sometimes liable to be when they are made the same way ast heir mistresses are.
		Then back she came, lugging in her arms the Patchwork Girl, which she set upon the bench and propped up so that the figure would not tumble over.

		Certainly ranking among the most provocative of feminist hypertexts published so far, Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl (1995) makes readers want to talk back...if the growing body of critical writings is any indication.
		Stitched together with theory, quotations and metatextual reflection, the Patchwork Girl speaks in the voices of the owners of her original body parts whilst one of the authors (by my count, there are three in total in the text) engages in conversation with the likes of Jacques Derrida.
		In an intriguing twist, the heroine deems her perfect, boyish figure freakish as are the changes her developing body undergoes, while her unusual attributes, like her piercings, her 28 tattoos, her phantom limb and her tail, are celebrated for their uniqueness.

		Patchwork Girl is Shelley Jackson's attempt to bring to life Mary Shelley's second child, the female monster in Frankenstein whom Victor Frankenstein creates but then destroys before actually giving her life, for fear that she'll be as much of a baddie as the first one.
		Jackson notes that "a motherless monster with a shiftless dad runs amok," but she wonders "what about a monster with a loving mother?" And Patchwork Girl is, in large part, an exploration of that possibility.
		As one moves through the "Story" section, it becomes clear that the monster is the author not only of the/her Story but also of the "Graveyard" and "Broken Accents" sections.

		"Let's see," she remarked; "I was about to give my girl a little 'Cleverness,' which is the Doctor's substitute for 'Intelligence'--a quality he has not yet learned how to manufacture." Taking down the bottle of "Cleverness" she added some of the powder to the heap on the dish.
		Ripping the seam of the patch on the girl's forehead, she placed the powder within the head and then sewed up the seam as neatly and securely as before.

		Opening Jackson's patchwork narrative, we first encounter a fl-and-white image of the stitched-together protagonist that she cuts and recombines into the images we encounter at various points throughout our reading.
