What is narrative? What is distinctive about the great literary
narratives? In virtue of what is a narrative fictional or
non-fictional? In this important new book Peter Lamarque, one of
the leading philosophers of literature at work today, explores
these and related questions to bring new clarity and insight to
debates about narrative in philosophy, critical theory, and
narratology. He highlights 'opacity' as a feature of literary
narratives and examines the implications for our understanding of
fictional worlds and fictional characters. Throughout he challenges
received views about narrative, questioning the indispensability of
narrative in an individual's self-conception and the importance of
both truth and emotion as measures of literary greatness. He
reflects on the 'non-fiction' novel arguing that it does not weaken
the distinction between fiction and no-fiction. The book offers a
compelling and original account of these and other issues, making a
critical contribution to topical and wide-ranging debates.
