| Publisher Description: Present Tense Narration in Contemporary Fiction seeks to account for the growing prevalence and frequency of present tense narration in modern literature. In order to better understand the conditions and effects of the technique, the book situates its discussion in a historical context and examines a variety of present-tense usage in works by prominent contemporary authors, including John Burnside, Will Self and Hilary Mantel. |
