Narrative Theory and Adaptation offers a concise introduction to
narrative theory in jargon-free language and shows how this theory
can be deployed to interpret Spike Jonze's critically acclaimed
2002 film Adaptation. Understanding narrative theory is crucial to
make sense of the award-winning film Adaptation. The book
explicates, in clear prose for beginners, four key facets important
to the narrative theory of film: the distinction between practical
vs. critical theory, the role of adaptation, the process of
narrative comprehension, and notions of authorship. It then works
to unlock Adaptation using these four keys in succession,
considering how the film demands a theoretical understanding of the
storytelling process. In using this unusual case study of a film,
the author makes the case for the importance of narrative theory as
a general perspective for filmmakers, critics, and viewers alike.
