dc.description.abstract	This thesis is concerned with the interplay between gender and narration. The way a narrative is structured influences the gender presentation of the narrator and characters. One can categorise some of these influences under the concept of queer voice. To investigate how this works, this thesis aims to answer the question: how is the fictional representation of gender affected by the structural characteristics of ‘queer’ narratives? First, the diegetic structure and narrative roles of three case studies will be identified, as well as any examples of metalepsis (the transgressing of the boundaries between diegetic levels). The outcome of this analysis is then used to determine where each of the narrators of the case studies fit into the framework of queer voice conceptualised by Susan S. Lanser ("Queering Narrative Voice").	en_US
