Summary/Abstract: Identity and its different notional implications are keyleitmotifs in many Canadian literary writings as a result of Canada’s complex and distinctive historical and cultural context. Starting from Northrop Frye’s theory on garrison mentality and Margaret Atwood’s Survival, this paper explores the concept of identity and its intricate connections with storytelling in Canadian literature by focusing on particular authors in whose texts the search for an identity occupies a central position.
