Sumario:This article examines the representation of theprocess through whicha traumatic experience conforms into a narrative in Anne Michaels's novel Fugitive Pieces(1996). The traumatic past of the main character, Jakob Beer, is conveyed through a narrative that performs aseries of functions that need to be considered throughout this investigation. We will focus on the narrated memory in order to study the connection between language and consciousness, the theories of the narrated self, scriptotherapy and the communicative memory and its role as testimony. These different aspects can be compared to a transference or a "translation", which constitutes one of the mainmetaphors throughout the novel.
