Figurally Colored Narration

Viac o knihe

The book explores Figurally Colored Narration (FCN), a narrative technique where the narrator's voice incorporates elements from a character's text without explicit indication. It distinguishes itself from free indirect discourse by focusing on typical aspects of a character's expression rather than their immediate thoughts. FCN operates through two primary modes: the blending of narrator and character texts and an ironic reproduction of the character's voice, allowing for critical commentary on both the content and style of the character's expression.
