The end point of a story determines its meaning and one of the main tasks a writer faces is to define the duration of a plot. Silber uses wide-ranging sources, from F.

In clear-eyed prose, Silber elucidates a tricky but vital aspect of the art of fiction.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57816057348470,"sku":"9781555975302","price":10.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27327089.jpg?v=1778201903","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781555975302-the-art-of-time-in-fiction","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
