Why have theorists approached narrative primarily as a form of
retrospect? Mark Currie argues that anticipation and other forms of
projection into the future are vital for an understanding of
narrative and its effects in the world. In a series of arguments
and readings, he offers an account of narrative as both
anticipation and retrospection, linking fictional time experiments
(in Ali Smith, Ian McEwan, Martin Amis and Graham Swift) to
exhilarating philosophical themes about presence and futurity. This
is an argument that shows that narrative lies at the heart of
modern experiences of time, structuring the present, whether
personal or collective, as the object of a future memory as much as
it records the past.
