Books like Narralogues by Ronald Sukenick

Name: Narralogues
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)
Author: Ronald Sukenick

"In Narralogues, Ronald Sukenick proposes fiction as a medium for telling the truth, while recognizing that the implicit contradiction in these terms is more than cheap paradox. The "narralogues," simultaneously narrative and argument, story and rhetorical pleading, exemplify and argue for fiction as persuasion in a sequence that moves from Socratic dialogue to outright narrative, using throughout all the traditional techniques of fiction, from comedy and irony to suspense and the erotic."--BOOK JACKET.
