{"product_id":"the-art-of-time-in-fiction","title":"The Art of Time in Fiction","description":"\u003cp\u003eFiction imagines for us a stopping point from which life can be seen as intelligible,\" asserts Joan Silber in \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Time in Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e. The end point of a story determines its meaning, and one of the main tasks a writer faces is to define the duration of a plot. Silber uses wide-ranging examples from F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chinua Achebe, and Arundhati Roy, among others, to illustrate five key ways in which time unfolds in fiction. In clear-eyed prose, Silber elucidates a tricky but vital aspect of the art of fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":52345963544792,"sku":"9781555975302","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/0369\/4552\/files\/imageloader_66178e30-40a0-44c5-a8ce-22d5850d0813.jpg?v=1788296938","url":"https:\/\/bigredbooks.shop\/products\/the-art-of-time-in-fiction","provider":"Big Red Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
