Narrativity, Coherence and Literariness: A Theoretical Approach with Analyses of Laclos, Kafka and Toussaint (Narratologia; Volume 68) by Eva Sabine Wagner - 2020

De Gruyter, 2020. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This study presents an original framework, an integrative macro model of narrativity, to shed light on the reader’s search for narrative coherence. A new category of narratological analysis is defined, called narrative dynamics. The first part of the book discusses theory of narrativity, offering a research review and an exploration of the relationship between narrativity and narratology. The second part uses the new theoretical tools to analyze novels by Choderlos de Laclos, Franz Kafka, and Jean-Philippe Toussaint. (2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
