Description
This article aims at analyzing the fissures of female discontinuity in Beirut Fragments (1990) through examining three aspects: the position of the female 'I' in relation to the narrative, which includes the form of the narrative, and thus, the author calls it 'narrative and its discontents'; the centrality of the place (Beirut in this case) that works as a substitute for the fragmented 'I' and turns the book into a topography rather than autobiography; then the language as a vehicle of conveying the gaps and seals of the self. **********
