Abstract
Modern fiction, just like epics or life stories, can be regarded as a variant of biography. Since the emergence of Modernism, the narration in fiction has changed from the description of the subject's doings to that of his inner world, and even the subject has disappeared in some nouveaux romans .The change reveals the fate of man as subject in the modern world, while the endeavor at narration anticipates the intention to restore such a status.
