Abstract

This article explores various aspects of fragmentation in contemporary literature, focusing on different forms of fragmented narratives and their impact on reader perception. The paper introduces three types of fragmented storytelling: weaving, bricolage, and mosaic. In the first part, weaving is examined, where fragments constitute individual narrative projects interwoven into a complex yet interconnected structure. The second category, bricolage, analyzes works composed of diverse fragments, creating a unique collage of literary elements. The third category, mosaic, investigates novels where each fragment represents a complete narrative. The article also emphasizes the blurred line between mosaic novels and collections of short stories, discussing the categorization of such mosaic works as full-fledged novels. This article reveals the complexity and versatility of employing fragmentation in literary fiction, offering readers a rich array of literary forms and strategies that allow works to play with traditional structures and evoke new, more engaging reader experiences.
