Abstract
This paper is a critical analysis of three contemporary texts in queer fiction, which are Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson; Cleanness by Garth Greenwell; and Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters. These texts all provide specific commentary on the inherent tension that a queer narrative subject has to their own narrative voice under the hegemonic system of heteronormativity, which is a system that undermines their authority and validity as narrators. In my analysis, I seek to link the three texts, as well as using various critical theorists such as Roland Barthes and Julia Kristeva, in order to argue that queer narrators inherently engage with a form of self-censorship due to the confines of heteronormativity that looms over their respective narratives.
