{"product_id":"the-art-of-time-in-fiction-as-long-as-it-takes","title":"The Art of Time in Fiction: As Long as It Takes","description":"Fiction imagines for us a stopping point from which life can be seen as intelligible,\" asserts Joan Silber in The Art of Time in Fiction. The end point of a story determines its meaning, and one of the main tasks a writer faces is to define the duration of a plot. Silber uses wide-ranging examples from F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chinua Achebe, and Arundhati Roy, among others, to illustrate five key ways in which time unfolds in fiction. In clear-eyed prose, Silber elucidates a tricky but vital aspect of the art of fiction.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1555975305\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1555975305.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Silber, Joan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
