Sommario/riassunto

By tracing its connections to other concepts and situating them within Deleuze's general aesthetics  Ronald Bogue develops a theory of fabulation  which he proposes as the guiding principle of a Deleuzian approach to literary narrative. This is an original and exciting project by a highly respected specialist in the field.
