Book description.

This volume is quite a lengthy tome and it is published to celebrate my joy of writing and learning as I have recently gained a Master of Arts in English. But why is it entitled Completely Fragmented: Nigel Pearce. That is not such an enigma but an easily solved puzzle. It is fragmented in that it is divided into several sections, each a literary genre. However, it, of course, is more profound than that. The authorial 'I' has died in every genre except non-fiction because as D. H. Lawrence wrote in Studies in Classic American Literature (1925) 'Never trust the artist. Trust the tale.' On a personal level I live in a world of books, but my life has been tossed into the air by experience. This author is in fact himself fragmented yet he finds cohesion by both writing and studying.
