This book brings together several major essays on foundational
topics of narrative studies and the theory of fictionality by one
of the preeminent figures of postclassical narrative theory. It
reexamines and reconceives the role of the author, the status of
implied authors, the model for unnatural narrative theory, the
nature of narrative, and the ideological implications of narrative
forms. It also explores the status of historical characters in
fictional texts, the paradoxes of realism, the presence of multiple
implied readers, the role of actual readers, and the question of
fictionality. In addition, an appendix offers a useful approach for
teaching narrative theory. The book includes analyses of works by
Conrad, Joyce, Woolf, Nabokov, Beckett, Jeanette Winterson, Deborah
Eisenberg, and others. Throughout, it argues for a more expansive
conception of narrative theory and keen attention to the nature and
difference of fiction. This provocative book makes crucial
interventions in ongoing critical debates about narrative theory,
literary theory, and the theory of fictionality, and is essential
reading for all students of narrative.
