Sorry. My shortening of the term "
deconstruction". I type it a LOT and so I start shortening it and then forget that I'm in a different audience.
If you've ever read Fred Clark's several year long deconstruction of the Left Behind books, or if you've read my Twilight or Narnia deconstructions, that's what I mean. My novel is a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale and there's a long decon at the end about the themes in the original work. Which was originally written as a feminist tale arguing that women should have the right to choose their own marriage partners, interestingly enough.
