Abstract:
How does narratology relate to narrative strangeness? This question is urgent for narratologists who share a marked skepticism towards the idea of using 'natural' narratives as some kind of genetic model for understanding and interpreting all kinds of narratives, and for whom the distinction of fiction is important. This anthology presents a collection of articles that deal with different aspects of narrative voice in fiction ‑ with strange narratives, narratives of the strange, or, more generally, with the strangeness of fiction, and even with some strange aspects of narratology.
