Literary theory for writers
Wayne Booth dives into the dynamics of what's happening in the text — what readers get out of it, what writers put into it.
Clear and smart
What distinguishes this book from numerous other books on narratology and literary theory is that it expresses and explains fundamental ideas in simple and clear words.
Booth's Most-Recognized Book
Here is what I wrote on Wikipedia about this book :
In what was likely Booth's most-recognized book, The Rhetoric of Fiction, he argued that all narrative is a form of rhetoric.
Every book expresses a set of values
Booth wrote this excellent work to counter the notion that readers can enjoy a novel purely on aesthetic grounds, without regard to the meaning of the book.
Lit Crit Text
Excellent, well-written work that is extremely helpful for the lit crit to understand the relationships between author, projected author/author persona, narrator, characters, and reader.
expand your appreciation of fiction
This thoughtful, probing exploration of how fiction is narrated will make you a better reader and a better writer.
