Exploring the intersection of narrative and reader engagement, this book presents eight analyses of twentieth-century German literature through the lens of structuralist and poststructuralist narratology. Patrick O'Neill examines works by authors such as Mann, Kafka, and Hesse, emphasizing the unique ways stories are told and their implications for understanding narrative. Central to his analysis is the relationship between story and discourse, highlighting the active role of the reader in modern and postmodern narratives as a semiotic structure.
