Description

A Certain Difficulty of Being provides an English-speaking audience with an account of some of the most interesting narrative problems which mark the development of the Quebec novel. Anthony Purdy uses the tools of contemporary narratology to go beyond the more formal studies of the sixties and seventies. Why, he asks, are the narrators of the novels he studies telling the stories they tell, and why do they experience such difficulty in doing so ?
