Featuring a major synthesis and critique of interdisciplinary
narrative theory, "Story Logic" marks a watershed moment in the
study of narrative. David Herman argues that narrative is
simultaneously a cognitive style, a discourse genre, and a resource
for writing. Because stories are strategies that help humans make
sense of their world, narratives not only have a logic but also are
a logic in their own right, providing an irreplaceable resource for
structuring and comprehending experience.
"Story Logic" brings together and pointedly examines key
concepts of narrative in literary criticism, linguistics, and
cognitive science, supplementing them with a battery of additional
concepts that enable many different kinds of narratives to be
analyzed and understood. By thoroughly tracing and synthesizing the
development of different strands of narrative theory and
provocatively critiquing what narratives are and how they work,
"Story Logic" provides a powerful interpretive tool kit that
broadens the applicability of narrative theory to more complex
forms of stories, however and wherever they appear. "Story Logic"
offers a fresh and incisive way to appreciate more fully the power
and significance of narratives.
