Binding: Paperback
Description: A sensitive and nuanced exploration of a seldom - discussed subject by an acclaimed novelist The fourteenth volume in the Art of series conjures an ethereal subject: the idea of mystery in fiction. Mystery is not often discussed apart from the genre because as Maud Casey says It's not easy to talk about something that is a whispered invitation a siren song a flickering light in the distance. Casey the author of several critically acclaimed novels reaches beyond the usual tool kit of fictional elements to ask the question: Where does mystery reside in a work of fiction? She takes us into the Land of Un a space of uncertainty and unknowing to find out and looks at the variety of ways mystery is created through character image structure and haunted texts including the novels of Shirley Jackson Paul Yoon J. M. Coetzee and more. Casey's wide - ranging discussion encompasses spirit photography the radical nature of empathy and contradictory characters as she searches for questions rather than answers. The Art of Mystery is a striking and vibrant addition to the much - loved Art of series.
