It is a work of metafiction designed to trouble the unexamined assumptions of the memoir. Narrative structureThe novel is composed in twelve chapters, each of which is preceded by a photograph. In other words, its structure suggests a single roll of film. Girl Imagined by Chance explores the nature of photography, thereby raising questions about the simulated and the real, the mediaization of consciousness, originality, and the construction of identity. It examines the way images both give rise to and complicate memory. In this way, it is indebted to such theoretical works as Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation and Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida, allusions to both of which appear in its pages. ReceptionRain Taxi called Olsen's novel "a book about the image of reality," drew connections between it and Edward Albee's play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and emphasized its rare investigation into "couples who consciously elect to remain childless,"[1] while Paul Petrovic's essay in Extrapolation (journal) limns the relationship of Girl Imagined by Chance to Baudrillard's concepts of simulation and reproduction, and Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology.[2]References1. ^{{cite news|title=Girl Imagined by Chance |url=http://www.raintaxi.com/online/2002fall/olsen.shtml|accessdate=10 May 2013 |journal=Rain Taxi |date=Fall 2002 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131015174901/http://raintaxi.com/online/2002fall/olsen.shtml|archivedate=15 October 2013}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Between Visibility and Invisibility: Baudrillard, Jean-Luc Marion, and Lance Olsen's Girl Imagined by Chance|url=https://www.questia.com/library/1G1-140195297/between-visibility-and-invisibility-baudrillard|accessdate=10 May 2013|journal=Extrapolation|date=Summer 2005}} External links
