Description

Book Synopsis
By examining how some of the best fiction writers have taken up the challenge of film, television, video games, and hypertext, Daniel Punday offers an enlightening look into the current status of such fundamental narrative concepts as character, plot, and setting. Writing at the Limit explores what it really means to be writing at print's media limit.

Trade Review
"Writing at the Limit is a necessary study of limits: not just of what the critic can say about the novel, but also of what the novel can say about itself."—Kurt Cavender, College Literature
