This book traces the theoretical discussions surrounding narrative unreliability and examines the relationship of unreliable narration to antimimetic techniques of portraying self-deception. Standing on the border between classical and postclassical narratology, the study analyses Kazuo Ishiguro’s and Max Frisch’s innovative narrative strategies, offering new perspectives on their œuvre and on unreliable narration as a narratological concept. A comparison of the methods Ishiguro and Frisch employ to explore the psychology of their narrators reveals a fascinating parallel in their development as novelists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«The project carried out through the book deserves credit on several accounts.»\u003cbr\u003e (Stefan Iversen, Journal of Literary Theory JLT - online 2017)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Read the full review here\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Unreliable narration – Unreliability – Narratology – Unnatural narration – Kazuo Ishiguro – Max Frisch – Narrative strategies – Narrator – Literary theory – 20th-century English literature – 20th-century German literature – Identity – Memory – Self-deception – Fictional world – Possible-world theory – Postmodernism.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044303012183,"sku":"9783631660508","price":54.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631660508.jpg?v=1750961196","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kazuo-ishiguro-and-max-frisch-bending-facts-in-unreliable-and-unnatural-narration-9783631660508","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
