| Zusammenfassung: | "From Paragraphs to Plots continues the larger project that Matthew Clark began in How to Reread a Novel of examining the techniques through which novels are constructed using distinct forms of narration. That book treated two general topics: the narrative situation, defined as the interaction between authors and readers, and the stylistic texture of narratives. This follow-up volume considers larger compositional features, namely narrative structures, or architecture. The two books taken together provide an expansive account of narrative composition. In this volume, as in its companion, theory takes a backseat to practical analysis and interpretation." |

The novel has often been characterized as the art form without a form. Although there may not be any rules for how to write a novel, as Matthew Clark shows in his new work of practical analysis, a good novel is as carefully formed as agood poem. From Paragraphs to Plots uncovers large compositional features of narrative construction, thereby excavating elements that constitute the architecture of the novel. Clark begins by discussing the segmentation of narratives, from the paragraph level up to the whole novel, with case studies of the composition ofjane Austen’s Emma and Virginia Woolf's Mrs. DaUoivay. The next chapter explores ring composition, a particular kind of repetition where the beginning and the end of a text are the same or similar. From there, Clark analyzes in detail two novels, Ford Madox Ford’s The GoodSoldier and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, identifying the repetitions, inversions, links, and fragmented narrations that comprise each narrative. The book’s second half focuses on simple and complex plot forms. Examining iterations of simple plot forms—plots that begin with a specific initiating event and proceed in an essentially regular chronological pro gression from beginning to middle to end—Clark outlines several common beginnings and endings, along with a short account of less common ways to begin a novel. Subsequent discussions examine devices used in com plex plot forms, such as Beginning with the Ending, Ghosts from the Past, Retrospects, One-Day Novels, Mirror Plots, Unnatural Chronology, and Non-Narrative Elements. The final chapter draws together
the preceding discussions with a case study of a recent novel, Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer. By analyzing narrative construction, From Paragraphs to Plots identifies sources 0(beauty and meaning in literature, approaching the aesthetic and the thematic as simultaneous and inextricable. |
