Abstract
One striking feature of Pascal Quignard's writing style is his use of the fragment and fragmentation. We give examples of fragmentation in his narratives and novels, where one would least expect it. While utilizing narrative functions and devices of the romanesque, Quignard's novels are structured according to one characteristic gesture of loosening textual ties. Under the relative continuity of an overall plot, they betray various forms of fragmentation that, paradoxically, contribute to the story-telling and to the appeal that they have on the reader.
