A narrative-dramatic genre and art form in its own right, radio drama has traditionally crossed medial and generic boundaries and continues to do so in our age of digitization. \u003ci\u003eAudionarratology: Lessons from Audio Drama, \u003c\/i\u003e edited by Lars Bernaerts and Jarmila Mildorf, explores radio drama from a narratological angle. The contributions cover key questions surrounding audiophonic meaning-making, storyworld creation, mediation, focalization, suspense, unreliability, and ambiguity as well as the relationship between script and performance, seriality, antinarrative tendencies, and radio drama's political implications now and in its early days. The book thus explores the interplay between sound, voices, music, language, silence, electroacoustic manipulation, and narrative structures. Providing examples from American, Australian, British, Dutch, and German radio drama-such as \u003ci\u003eI Love a Mystery\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe War of the Worlds, and\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eHitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy\u003c\/i\u003e-this book has important insights for scholars working in transmedial narratology, media studies, literary and cultural studies, theatre and performance studies, and communication studies as well as for practitioners and lovers of radio drama alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Bernaerts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814257968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814257968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Lars Bernaerts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135252611327,"sku":"9780814257968","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19dc18b7-c13b-40be-a915-95c0a6560c1e.jpg?v=1755009590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/audionarratology-lars-bernaerts-9780814257968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
