| Résumé anglais |
The opening pages of A Frolic of His Own resort to a type of narration familiar to the readers of Gaddis 's previous novels, with the dialogues conveying most of the narrative information while the narrator 's interventions are confined to a few descriptive sequences. Yet, the inclusion of other kinds of writings and the proliferation of stories grafted to the main plot dissolve the unity of a presupposed central narrative. This paper tries to examine the constant displacement of the narrative from one area of the text to another, which is also linked to an interrogation on language through its uses and abuses in the legal jargon forming the substratum of the novel's fictional world.
