This article focuses on the incompleteness of our reality embedded within Doris Lessing`s The Golden Notebook, a novel with a highly experimental narrative structure about Anna Wulf, who is an expatriate African, a former Communist, a divorcee, an author of one successful book, and a keeper of four notebooks. In The Golden Notebook, Lessing specially introduces one of the defining features of postmodernism, incompleteness, in the process of dismantling the subject and text. Lessing who finds realism incapable of describing the divided society comes to see a new way embracing the chaotic and formless reality. Lessing`s parody of 19th century realism, convoluted structure and metafiction reestablish the connections between text and world by suggesting that there is no real objectivity of reality but chaos and incompleteness. As Lessing insists in the preface of the novel, breakdown or fragmentation is a way of self-healing in a messy, chaotic reality. The term `incompleteness` refers to real shape of our reality itself. Lessing`s novel breaks down realist conventions to strip us of our modernist expectation that texts are closed systems. Through this realization Anna, the protagonist, is able to transpose the conventional concept of a traditional narrative and conclude the novel by starting Anna full circle at the beginning of the story, thus creating a whole new work of fiction with a completely different character.
