Title
Continuity and Discontinuity in the Short Fiction of Mavis Gallant
Abstract
The author points out that there is a recurrence in Montreal-born novelist Mavis Gallant's (1922-2014) fiction of characters who remember and characters who forget. She argues that this recurrence is manifested in several ways: by soldier characters who return to a changed home, by the metaphor of parents as the old world, by the pairing of characters opposite in their ability to remember or forget, and finally, in the effect an individual's disconnection from the past might have on society.
