A Theory of Narrative
Relying on the structure and methodology of classical and postclassical narratology, this book explores the phenomena of story and narrative, narrator, focalization, character, time and space, as well as the beginning and the ending of a narrative. It upgrades the theory of the unreliable narrator and introduces three new categories that have until now been exclusively used to refer to unreliable narrators, namely commentators, interpreters and evaluators.

"I am convinced that, with its English translation, the monograph 'A Theory of Narrative' will become an indispensable part of scientific literature abroad, just as it has been for some time in Slovenia."
