Narralogues: Truth in Fiction

Meer over het boek

Exploring the nature of fiction as a vehicle for truth, Ronald Sukenick presents "narralogues" that blend narrative and argument. These works challenge the conventional boundaries of storytelling, employing techniques such as comedy, irony, suspense, and eroticism. The progression from Socratic dialogue to narrative illustrates his belief in fiction as a persuasive medium, highlighting the complexities and contradictions within this approach. Sukenick's innovative style pushes the limits of contemporary fiction, making a case for its role in conveying deeper truths.
