Overview
"Plot," writes Peter Brooks, "is so basic to our very experience of reading, and indeed to our articulation of experience in general, that criticism has often passed it over in silence..." (Reading for the Plot, xi). Finding the Plot both explores and helps to redress this critical neglect. The book brings together an international group of scholars to address the nature, effects and specific pleasures of consuming stories. If the central focus is on France and popular literary fiction, the book's scope - like contemporary fiction itself - observes no national frontiers, and extends across a variety of media. The book addresses both the empirical question of which genres and types of text have been and are most "popular," and the theoretical questions of how plots work, what pleasures they offer to readers, and why it matters that the plot should not be lost.
