- Summary
- What happens when we view a movie? Do we actually see the fiction, and if so how? Literary fiction is recounted by a voice of some sort, the narrator. Wilson explores the strategies of cinematic narration, and argues that this prompts viewers to imagine seeing and hearing events in the fictional world.
