Unnatural voices: extreme narration in modern and contemporary fiction

Going boldly where no other narrative theorist has gone before, Richardson explores the creation, fragmentation, and reconstruction of narrative voices--one of the most significant aspects of late modernist, avant garde, and post-modernist narrative. He takes an empirical approach, describing and theorizing the actual practices of significant authors, rather than building on a priori linguistic or rhetorical categories.
