This article shows how the novel Stella Manhatten employs the condition of adriftness and sexual exile as aesthetic and political categories to strategically perform what we are calling, using some authors, a derision of compulsory heterosexuality. We will discuss the concept of sexual adriftness with the help of Deleuze and Guattari and the notion of exile using Said. We will read these authors in conjunction with other poststructuralist thinkers, in particular Michel Maffesoli and Judith Butler.
