Former owner's name on the front endpaper. A bright, clean, tight copy with all text clear/unmarked. "A critic of international stature here builds a systematic theory of narrative upon an analysis of the writings of Marcel Proust, particularly 'Remembrance of Things Past'. Adopting what is essentially a structuralist approach, Gerard Genette identifies and names the basic constituents and techniques of narrative, and illustrates them by referring to literary works in many languages." 285 pages.
