Turning to narratives set in sub-Saharan Africa, Mikkonen identifies five main dimensions of interplay between fiction and nonfiction: the experiential frame of the journey, the redefinition of the language and objective of description, the shared cultural givens and colonial notions concerning sub-Saharan Africa, the theme of narrativisation, and the issue of virtual genres. Narrative Paths reveals the important role that travel played as a frame in these modernist fictions as well as the crucial ways that nonfiction travel narratives appropriated fictional strategies. Narrative Paths contributes to debates in narratology and rhetorical narrative theory about the fiction-nonfiction distinction. With chapters on a wide range of modernist authors-from Pierre Loti, Andre; Gide, Michel Leiris, and Georges Simenon to Blaise Cendrars, Louis-Ferdinand Ce;line, Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen)-Mikkonen's study also contributes to postcolonial approaches to these authors, examining issues of representation, narrative voice, and authority in narratives about colonial Africa"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / French$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh$2bisacsh 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 606 $aEuropean fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTravelers' writings, European$xHistory and criticism 607 $aAfrica$xIn literature 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / French. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 615 0$aEuropean fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTravelers' writings, European$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.93355 686 $aLIT004120$aLIT004150$2bisacsh 700 $aMikkonen$b Kai$0935799 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552765403321 996 $aNarrative Paths$92803905 997 $aUNINA
