In a decade when many Scottish writers were concerned with an exhaustive exploration of their identity, Janice Galloway’s acclaimed first novel, The Trick Is to Keep Breathing (1989), offers an intimate portrayal of a particular experience that transcends the constrains of collective definition. This paper concentrates on the experimental narrative techniques used by Galloway in order to reveal the artificially woven codes that condition our identities. We will explore the strategies Galloway uses to uct the messages inscribed on the body of her female narrative voice, as well as her constant transgression of textual patterns.
