Narratives of the Domestic: Locating Feminine Identity Formations in Paul Auster’s The New York Trilogy

Panel: 
Stories and Histories: Narratives in Literature and Historiography
Abstract: 

In a text centered around stories of men's escape from home in search of identity, how is female identity formed? Are these women allowed their own stories of identity or is this exploration only a male privilege? In this paper, I will explore the women throughout Auster's text and their role in shaping the male centered identity narrative.
