Story and discourse: narrative structure in fiction and film

.
Cornell University Press, Ithaca, N.Y., (1978)

Abstract

'For the specialist in the study of narrative structure, this is a solid and very perceptive exploration of the issues salient to the telling of a story-whatever the medium. Chatman, whose approach here is at once dualist and structuralist, divides his subject into the 'what' of the narrative (Story) and the 'way'(Discourse)... Chatman's command of his material is impressive.'
