Gradual Change In Narrative Point Of View
1,282 words' On what basis does an author choose a title for a novel Is it simply that it must bear some relation to the story It must, surely, be far more than this, and here is where the title "Regeneration" succeeds; it works well on so many different levels. It not only refers to the story, but it also suggests the themes, structure, development and shifting narrative viewpoint of Barker's book. It is this last aspect on which I will principally concentrate because it is a device which is not immediate...

Several Times In The Diary Anna
822 wordsThe Time is Night is a short novel by Liudmila Petrushevskaya. It is one of the few stories that I enjoy reading over and over again. The reason is that each time I re-read it, I perceive it in a slightly different way. The complicity of characters and the style of the novel is what I would like to emphasize most about the novel, as well as the fact that The Time is Night represents an outstanding social awareness of the author. As an introduction, Liudmila Petrushevskaya writes that what reader...

Free Of Uni's Grip And Chip Heads

This Perfect Day also displays the feeling that communist and segregated institutions can be defeated,...

Soundtrack To Every Cooper Novel
1,268 wordsLaughing all the way to the bonkPandoraJilly Cooper Bantam Press 17.99, pp 558 It would be fruitless to summarise the plot of Pandora, Jilly Cooper's new novel, for the book is too long and the story too silly.
