This course focuses on three great contemporary narrative texts (novels?) with the main aim to develop your understanding of how narrative fiction "works". The texts we will read and discuss share an episodic, composite form which is realized in different ways. They all lend themselves to analyses of story (character, setting, theme, events) and discourse (narrative perspective, voice, levels of information), but they also demand of us/the reader to address questions of coherence, unity and genre. Please buy and start reading as soon as you can:
- David Mitchell, Ghostwritten (1999)
- Jon McGregor, Reservoir 13 (2017)
- Sarah Moss, Summerwater (2020)
