really liked it

This text is a very great resource for the discussion of narrative theory. The author discusses several aspects of narrative, including such concepts as "mood" and "voice". It is a bit esoteric at times as befits an academic-focused work. The author specifically focuses on Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time and references several other French texts.
