Radical and terrifying. The book opens with a Deleuze quote, and (of course) I can't help but think about through that lens. The House is a palpable and properly insidious expression of the Oedipal triangle, and it represents all that Deleuze and Guattari originally intended: gender and sexual normativity, fascism, the strictures of societal expectations and so on. In a pair of words, Freudian psychoanalysis. Rumfitt gives her representation of this mental, sexual, and societal cell the weight that it requires; to her it's not an observation from the relatively safe space of the 1970's like D&G's was. No, she knows how dangerous and real The House is.
