The book includes an in-depth discussion of causation's role in several different key craft elements of fiction writing and examines different theories of causation and their implications for causation in fiction. Other discussions include the role of causation in building suspense, character and causation, causation in dialogue and connections between fiction and counterfactuals (or hypotheticals). The book also considers a number of objections to the causal thesis and offers a reply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frances Howard-Snyder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031527111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2024 Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44189370155145,"sku":"9783031527111","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3d7f1d65-9640-4f97-9e64-2c17bf69253f.jpg?v=1748926134","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/cause-and-effect-in-fiction-9783031527111","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
