Via de la Narracion, La - Paperback

by Alessandro Baricco (Author)

Baricco reflects on the narratives and tries to unravel their mysteries. What is its final sense and its internal mechanics? The narrative has something of a hieroglyph and something of a map. Its alchemy emerges in the elusive and enigmatic borders between magic and optical illusion, between the mystical event and the chemical process. Can narration be taught? Can you learn to narrate?
