The question of how narratives actually do the work of world-building transcends disciplines: from cosmology to philosophy, digital culture, popular culture, and literary theory. In A New Anatomy of Storyworlds, Marie-Laure Ryan investigates the narratological importance of the concept of world in its various manifestations. She uses a wide array of works-from Sokal's hoax to Maus, from Saussure to Barthes, from Kafka to virtual reality-to interrogate key narratological concepts. By revisiting and redefining concepts such as narrator, plot, character, fictionality, mimesis, and diegesis, Ryan reexamines the major controversies that have enlivened narratology: Does narrative necessarily involve a narrator? Is the notion of implied author useful? Do texts that challenge our experience of the real world require a different narratology? Is the distinction between fictional and factual narratives gradual or binary? Ultimately, Ryan grounds narratology in the concept of world to propose an alternative to the rhetorical, feminist, unnatural, and cognitive approaches that currently dominate the field, thus broadening the frame through which we view story and world-building.

After 10 minutes the man approaches my table without asking me a question he sits in the chair next to me, I was terrified, I thought it was better not to say anything and wait for what he wanted to do, he looked me straight in my eyes, and with a very calm voice without a Sicilian accent, asked me, sir, can I ask you a question? I looked at him with bated breath but very attentive to his every subsequent movement and I answered, yes, of course, the man was waiting for my answer as a guard dog, are you a journalist? I replied, no I am not a journalist, the man replied, because I see you write like a journalist, I smiled and answered, no, I am busy writing my next book, at that moment that man took a deep breath, and with a straight look in my eyes told me, sir, I'd like to tell you my story if you only have 10 minutes, I'm sure you'd like it, I replied, yes, of course, please, I was so surprised on one side and on the other intrigued to hear what the man has to tell and I answered, ok, please tell me your story, the man put his hands on the table took a deep breath and began to talk about his past experience. A young boy who grew up exactly in the same village where we are sitting, across the street was his house where he lives with his parents, he dreamed to become e power and rich men and for this reason, he moved to America to follow his dream.

Prisoner of Tehran: One Woman's Story of Survival Inside an Iranian Prison

In her heartbreaking, triumphant, and elegantly written memoir, Prisoner of Tehran, Marina Nemat tells the heart-pounding story of her life as a young girl in Iran during the early days of Ayatollah Khomeini's brutal Islamic Revolution. What would you give up to protect your loved ones? Your life? In her heartbreaking, triumphant, and elegantly written memoir, Prisoner of Tehran, Marina Nemat tells the heart-pounding story of her life as a young girl in Iran during the early days of Ayatollah Khomeini's brutal Islamic Revolution. In January 1982, Marina Nemat, then just sixteen years old, was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death for political crimes. Until then, her life in Tehran had centered around school, summer parties at the lake, and her crush on Andre, the young man she had met at church. But when math and history were subordinated to the study of the Koran and political propaganda, Marina protested. Her teacher replied, "If you don't like it, leave." She did, and, to her surprise, other students followed. Soon she was arrested with hundreds of other youths who had dared to speak out, and they were taken to the notorious Evin prison in Tehran. Two guards interrogated her. One beat her into unconsciousness; the other, Ali, fell in love with her. Sentenced to death for refusing to give up the names of her friends, she was minutes from being executed when Ali, using his family connections to Ayatollah Khomeini, plucked her from the firing squad and had her sentence reduced to life in prison. But he exacted a shocking price for saving her life -- with a dizzying combination of terror and tenderness, he asked her to marry him and abandon her Christian faith for Islam. If she didn't, he would see to it that her family was harmed. She spent the next two years as a prisoner of the state, and of the man who held her life, and her family's lives, in his hands. Lyrical, passionate, and suffused throughout with grace and sensitivity, Marina Nemat's memoir is like no other. Her search for emotional redemption envelops her jailers, her husband and his family, and the country of her birth -- each of whom she grants the greatest gift of all: forgiveness.
