{"product_id":"on-making-fiction-9783837665505","title":"On Making Fiction: Frankenstein and the Life of Stories","description":"Fiction is generally understood to be a fascinating, yet somehow deficient affair, merely derivative of reality. What if we could, instead, come up with an affirmative approach that takes stories seriously in their capacity to bring forth a substance of their own? Iconic texts such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and its numerous adaptations stubbornly resist our attempts to classify them as mere representations of reality. Friederike Danebrock shows how these texts insist that we take them seriously as agents and interlocutors in our world- and culture-making activities. Drawing on this analysis, she develops a theory of narrative fiction as a generative practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Friederike Danebrock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 383766550X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837665505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Friederike Danebrock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132256841983,"sku":"9783837665505","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_451a77e9-505c-41b9-b49c-78de33add7fb.jpg?v=1687479141","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-making-fiction-9783837665505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
