Abstract EN
In the Book of Lies by Mary Horlock and Indignation by Philip Roth, the relationship between the process of remembering and the process of self -narration is embodied creatively.
As a fellow contemporary writer Julian Barnes points out: ‘Memory is identity....You are what you have done; what you have done is in your memory; what you remember defines who you are; when you forget your life you cease to be, even before your death.’(1) .This paper will examine the profound impact of memory on the two narrators (protagonists as well); Catherine and Marcus, and how they construct identity in their narrations` process.
It will shed light on how both narrators allow their past to illuminate their current lives.
Recollecting past memories of school, campus life, parents and friends has a great influence on narrating the two stories.
Moreover, referring to historical memories of Korean War and German occupation of Guernsey is a significant factor of defining the (self) for Catherine and Marcus.
