Abstract |
The present paper looks at ways in which identity is deconstructed in “When We Were Orphans”. Banks, the main character, is a detective who fails at finding his parents and, at the same time, at metaphorically establishing order in his world. More than that, as an orphan, Banks fails at defining himself through his past and his nationality which he perceives to be connected. He is also an unreliable narrator whose memory is the only access to his story which is set in the larger context of a troubled history.
