Very interesting read!
They are a lot of great tools of interpretation in there. I'm not sure I would recommend this book, but I sure hope more and more people will become interested in narratology. It makes for a great new perspective on the text! (Asking : How is the story told and what is its effect on us? or How is the built of the text suppose to influence my reading of it?)
