Description: The first edition of The Rhetoric of Fiction transformed the criticism of fiction and soon became a classic in the field. One of the most widely used texts in fiction courses, it is a standard reference point in advanced discussions of how fictional form works, how authors make novels accessible, and how readers recreate texts, and its concepts and —such as "the implied author," "the postulated reader," and "the unreliable narrator"—have become part of the standard critical lexicon. For this new edition, Wayne C. Booth has written an extensive Afterword in which he clarifies misunderstandings, corrects what he now views as errors, and sets forth his own recent thinking about the rhetoric of fiction. The other new feature is a Supplementary Bibliography, prepared by James Phelan in consultation with the author, which lists the important critical works of the past twenty years—two decades that Booth describes as "the richest in the history of the subject."

Aug 07, 2016 Paul Bryant Rated it: really liked it Shelves: litcrit I read this some years ago and it was completely impressive, all about tellin' and showin' and modernism wishing to drive out the author's voice and very not reliable narrators and four kinds of realism and Henry James and how tears and laughter are aesthetically frauds, god damn them to hell.

Years later when I thought of this book a little something popped into my head. I saw a scarecrow in a field - peering closer I saw he had my face... and he was grinning glassily and... singing.

I could while away the hours Re-reading Richard Powers Or maybe Gertrude Stain And my head I'd be scratchin' While my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only had a brain I'd unravel any riddle of modernistic piddle while commutin' on a train And my thoughts would be dancin' I could be another Franzen! If I only had a brain I could entertain the missus With tales of brave Ulysses Or even James M. Cain I would formulate the pieces Of my throbbing mighty thesis If I only had a brain
