A talking body part, a character that is simultaneously alive and dead, a shape-changing setting, or time travel: although impossible in the real world, such narrative elements do appear in the storyworlds of novels, short stories, and plays. Impossibilities of narrator, character, time, and space are not only common in today’s world of postmodernist literature but can also be found throughout the history of literature. Examples include the beast fable, the heroic epic, the romance, the eighteenth-century circulation novel, the Gothic novel, the ghost play, the fantasy narrative, and the science-fiction novel, among others.

Unnatural Narrative looks at the startling and persistent presence of the impossible or “the unnatural” throughout British and American literary history. Layering the lenses of cognitive narratology, frame theory, and possible-worlds theory,Unnatural Narrative offers a rigorous and engaging new characterization of the unnatural and what it yields for individual readers as well as literary culture. Jan Alber demonstrates compelling interpretations of the unnatural in literature and shows the ways in which such unnatural phenomena become conventional in readers’ minds, altogether expanding our sense of the imaginable and informing new structures and genres of narrative engagement. 


Recenzijas

"This book will be of particular interest to scholars of genre theory, frame theory, and cognitive narratology."-American Literature "This is an excellent, well-written introduction to unnatural narratology and a useful starting point for non-specialists as well as narrative theorists."-J.J. Donahue, Choice "A valuable contribution to the fields of narratology, literary theory, and literary history."-Felicitas Meifert-Menhard, AAA "Jan Alber's book offers a remarkably persuasive discussion of the differences between fictional worlds and the actual one."-Thomas Pavel, Modern Philology "A fascinating project. . . . Alber's book deserves to be recognized and read."-David Toomey, Kritikon Litterarum "Unnatural Narrative provides students and lay readers with insightful interpretations of different unnatural narrative features in selected English and American literary texts and films, and can be highly recommended as an introduction to applied narratological analysis."-Roland Weidle, Anglistik Written accessibly, Unnatural Narrative will be of interest not only to experts but also to students and to lay readers who puzzle over postmodernist texts. It can also serve many students as an up-to-date pilot into the discipline of narratology.-Leona Toker, author of Towards the Ethics of Form in Fiction: Narratives of Cultural Remission
