Article on literary work that attracts negative types (5)
I believe the answer is:
anode
'that attracts negative types' is the definition.
(an anode attracts negatively charged ions)
'article on literary work' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'literary work' becomes 'ode' (type of poem).
'an'+'ode'='ANODE'
(Other definitions for anode that I've seen before include "Positive terminal" , "A cell terminal" , "Positive connection" , "Eg, battery terminal" , "that comes out of a cell?" .)
