Literary theory
Paperback. A study of the main elements of fiction, such as narrative, detail, characterization, dialogue, realism, and style. It takes the machinery of story-telling apart to ask a series of fundamental questions: What do we mean when we say we 'know' a fictional character? What constitutes a 'telling' detail? And, when is a metaphor successful? Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: DSK. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 130 x 14. Weight in Grams: 154.
