Narralogues: Truth in Fiction (S U N Y Series, Margins of Literature) [Paperback]

Ronald Sukenick (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0791444007 | ISBN-13: 978-0791444009 | Publication Date: January 2000

In Narralogues, Ronald Sukenick continues his important and original contributions to the cutting edge of contemporary fiction. Here he proposes fiction as a medium for telling the truth, while recognizing that the implicit contradiction in these terms is more than cheap paradox. The "narralogues," simultaneously narrative and argument, story and rhetorical pleading, exemplify and argue for fiction as persuasion in a sequence that moves from Socratic dialogue to outright narrative, using throughout all the traditional techniques of fiction, from comedy and irony to suspense and the erotic.
