| pubs.rights-statement | Inexperience & Other Stories is a fiction collection. Research background This research is in the field of 1904 Performing Arts and Creative Writing. Virginia Woolf used modernist literary techniques to slow down time in her writing to represent human perception. Although Don DeLillo was a postmodern story teller he retained modernism’s suspicion of traditional story. David Foster Wallace demonstrated that postmodern techniques such as flat (“two-dimensional”) characterization can be used in the service of traditional storytelling. The research question for this project is: can postmodern literature use modernist techniques of changing temporality while retaining a focus on traditional storytelling? Research contribution The collection showed that literary techniques that slow down time can serve traditional storytelling by retaining a focus on drama, interesting characters and intriguing narrative questions. This was achieved by pushing the “stretch/scene/summary” temporality spectrum toward the stretch/summary end of the continuum (which slow time down), while still using aspects of “summary” to move the story forwards. These alternations in rhythm create dramatic effects in their own right that enliven story-telling. Research significance The book, published by UWAP, was listed as a Book of the Year by Australian Book Review. Individual stories have won The Penguin Short Story Prize and been published in leading journals such as Antipodes (USA) and Southerly. Critics noted: “Macris is one of the most interesting writers of our time” (Sydney Morning Herald); “Alongside the astonishingly robust and coherent method … is a kind of sensation that moves beyond words” (Sydney Review of Books). | en_US |
