Summary/Abstract: Grace Tiffany’s debut novel, My Father Had a Daughter, is a vibrant tale of uninhibited desire, revenge and loss in the shape of a fictionalized ‘memoir’ of Judith, Shakespeare’s youngest daughter. The present paper will focus on the diegetic narrator’s trajectory of becoming; the theoretical framework will be informed by some of Deleuze and Guattari’s most important concepts, such as lines of flight, desiring machine, nomad and body without organs.
