Turning to narratives set in sub-Saharan Africa, Mikkonen identifies five main dimensions of interplay between fiction and nonfiction: the experiential frame of the journey, the redefinition of the language and objective of description, the shared cultural givens and colonial notions concerning sub-Saharan Africa, the theme of narrativisation, and the issue of virtual genres. Narrative Paths reveals the important role that travel played as a frame in these modernist fictions as well as the crucial ways that nonfiction travel narratives appropriated fictional strategies. Narrative Paths contributes to debates in narratology and rhetorical narrative theory about the fiction-nonfiction distinction. With chapters on a wide range of modernist authors-from Pierre Loti, Andre; Gide, Michel Leiris, and Georges Simenon to Blaise Cendrars, Louis-Ferdinand Ce;line, Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen)-Mikkonen's study also contributes to postcolonial approaches to these authors, examining issues of representation, narrative voice, and authority in narratives about colonial Africa"-- Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-316) and index. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings, European $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a European fiction $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Narration (Rhetoric) 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. 651 0 $a Africa $x In literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / French. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a European fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916731 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Narration (Rhetoric) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01032927 650 7 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073035 650 7 $a Travelers' writings, European. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155740 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Theory and interpretation of narrative series. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180102034708.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826112323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5446434C3A6E11E5A08F40DADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
