The book presents a new model for evaluating literature that addresses the challenges posed by innovative narratives in the context of traditional narrative theory. Brian Richardson explores how authors manipulate narrative boundaries, focusing on late modernist, postmodern, and contemporary works while also referencing earlier influential texts from writers like Aristophanes, Shakespeare, Joyce, Woolf, Rushdie, and Carter. This approach aims to enhance understanding of storytelling in the twenty-first century, emphasizing the importance of plot in diverse narrative forms.
