Description:
Explores how fiction writers withhold information not only to build interest, enhance tension, and control the readers' comprehension of the theme, but also in order to stimulate their interpretation and to increase their identification with a character who is also lacking knowledge. Presents a new approach to reactions on a first and second reading. Considers Fielding, Austin, Conrad, Faulkner, and others. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
