Narrative, Interrupted goes beyond the macro framing typical of postclassical narratology and sets out to sketch approaches more sensitive to generic specificities, disturbing details and authorial interference. Unlike the mainstream cognitive approaches or even the emergent unnatural narratology, the articles collected here explore the artifice involved in presenting something ordinary and realistic in literature. The first section of the book deals with anti-dynamic elements such as dialogue, details, private events and literary boredom. The second section, devoted to extensions of cognitive narratology, addresses spatiotemporal oddities and the possibility of non-human narratives. The third section focuses on frame-breaking, fragmentarity and problems of authorship in the works of Vladimir Nabokov. The book presents readings of texts ranging from the novels of Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon to the Animal Man comics. The common denominator for the texts discussed is the interruption of the chain of events or of the experiential flow of human-like narrative agents. 606 $aDiscourse analysis, Narrative 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 610 $aLiterary Authorship. 610 $aNarrative Theory. 610 $aVladimir Nabokov. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis, Narrative. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 676 $a808.036 701 $aLehtima?ki$b Markku$01149425 701 $aKarttunen$b Laura$01517775 701 $aMa?kela?$b Maria$01517776 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785955203321 996 $aNarrative, interrupted$93755001 997 $aUNINA
