From the Publisher
Highly recommended by RBB/Booklist.
"In The Fiction Dictionary, Henry, an English instructor and associate editor of Story magazine, provides lively definitions of 345 terms relating to fiction, including genres, narrative devices, elements of fictional works, and critical theories. In addition to citing examples of works that illustrate a term, she frequently supplements her explanations with brief excerpts from novels and short stories. Entries range from such standard and time-honored literary terms as allegory, denouement, and mimesis to contemporary terms such as cyberpunk, hyperfiction, and K mart fiction. . . ." (RBB/Booklist, July 1995)
