<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Fiction imagines for us a stopping point from which life can be seen as intelligible, asserts Joan Silber in <i>The Art of Time in Fiction</i>. 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Joan Silber</b> is the author of six books of fiction, including <i>The Size of the World</i>. She teaches at Sarah Lawrence College and lives in New York City.</p>
