Synopsis
Jane Alison challenges the traditional dramatic arc in fiction, proposing that stories can follow diverse patterns found in nature. She explores how authors like W. G. Sebald and Gabriel García Márquez create momentum through alternative structures rather than conventional climaxes. This insightful book offers writers new freedom to explore narrative design with guidance and wit.
