| Details | Toni Morrison's Home consists of two narratives which complement and retell each other, one by an omniscient narrator, the other Frank’s first-person narration. These two narrators interact. Frank even argues with the omniscient narrator, whom he calls “you.” Through the process of retelling, the story reveals what Frank’s fragmented and disoriented memories have failed to grasp. In this paper, I try to analyze the agency of this retelling. |
