Description
The Art of Time in Fiction by Joan Silber explores a fundamental aspect of storytelling: the way time unfolds in a narrative. The author argues that the end point of a story determines its meaning, and that defining the duration of a plot is a crucial task for writers.
Through a range of examples from various authors, Silber identifies five key ways in which time is structured in fiction. With clear and concise prose, she elucidates this complex but vital aspect of the art of fiction, making it accessible to writers and readers alike.
This insightful book offers a fresh perspective on the craft of storytelling, one that is both practical and thought-provoking. If you're interested in understanding how time is used in fiction, or looking for guidance on how to structure your own writing, this book is worth considering.
