Adopting what is essentially a structuralist approach, the author identifies and names the basic constituents and techniques of narrative and illustrates them by referring to literary works in many languages. Genette Uses Proust's Remembrance Of Things Past As A Work To Identify And Name The Basic Constituents And Techniques Of Narrative. Genette Illustrates The Examples By Referring To Other Literary Works.
