Recent postclassical narratology has constructed top-down reading
models that often remain blind to the frame-breaking potential of
individual literary narratives. Narrative, Interrupted goes beyond
the macro framing typical of postclassical narratology and sets out
to sketch approaches more sensitive to generic specificities,
disturbing details and authorial interference. Unlike the
mainstream cognitive approaches or even the emergent unnatural
narratology, the articles collected here explore the artifice
involved in presenting something ordinary and realistic in
literature. The first section of the book deals with anti-dynamic
elements such as dialogue, details, private events and literary
boredom. The second section, devoted to extensions of cognitive
narratology, addresses spatiotemporal oddities and the possibility
of non-human narratives. The third section focuses on
frame-breaking, fragmentarity and problems of authorship in the
works of Vladimir Nabokov. The book presents readings of texts
ranging from the novels of Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon to the
Animal Man comics. The common denominator for the texts discussed
is the interruption of the chain of events or of the experiential
flow of human-like narrative agents.
