" . . . this is one of the few books on narrative worth reading and rereading, a study that will make--or should make--a difference in the way we read narrative." --Nineteenth Century Fiction

"This is a remarkable book: original, clear-sighted, and luminously focused on a subject that has never been explored nearly so systematically or intensively." --Dorrit Cohn, Harvard University

This book, long out of print, is now available in a paperback edition, providing another window into one of the most exciting minds working in the areas of literary and biblical literary criticism.
