Untheories of Fiction

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the evolution of fiction writing from Diderot to Markson, the book challenges the idea of a singular "theory of fiction" and critiques Forster's notion of a unified novel. It emphasizes the complexity and diversity inherent in the novel form, arguing that a singular approach to its study is inadequate. By examining various perspectives and styles, the text highlights the protean nature of the novel, inviting readers to reconsider established theories and embrace a more pluralistic understanding of fiction.
