Strategies of self-disclosure in the first-person narratives of Gabrielle Roy
Abstract
dc:description"All of Gabrielle Roy's first person narratives exhibit evidence of a quest to understand the self. These narratives demonstrate both an evolution in the textual construction of the self portrait and a consistency of perspective with regard to textual self-disclosure. This can be explained by the dual nature of the ""I;"" both self-character and narrating persona are fused in the first person narratorial voice chosen for Roy's semi-autobiographical works. Roy affirmed the importance of an explicit first person narrator in certain texts to convey a tone of authenticity to the reader."
