FRAGMENTATION IN CAMILLE LAURENS' NOVEL WHO YOU THINK I AM

Summary/Abstract: Camille Laurens, who plays an important role among the self-fiction writers, presents different selves in her work Who You Think I am. It is seen that the author is in a literary, physical and metaphysical quest for different selves. In a way, we can say that Camille Laurens tries to search for all the selves and emotions within herself through the multiplication of voices. The best way to do this is to resort to fragmentary writing, one of the most distinctive features of the postmodern period. In her works, in which she narrates sections of her own life, Camille Laurens leaves aside the traditional autobiographical narrative method and she intensely employs intertextuality and fragmentary writing, which are important features of postmodern narrative. Laurens, who uses all the tropes of the postmodern period in her works, does not refrain from resorting to fragmentary writing while she was writing Who You Think I am. In this novel of Laurens, where discontinuity is at the forefront, fragmentation, intertextuality, disjunction and disconnection are immediately noticeable.
