Reader reviews for Meander, Spiral, Explode: Design and Pattern in Narrative
Review summary
Reviewers found Jane Alison’s study of narrative form provocative and well-sourced, praising its range of examples and encouragement to experiment, yet disputing its challenge to linear storytelling. They argued that stories inherently move through time and transition, making Freytag’s pyramid still relevant; innovation is welcome, they contended, but not at odds with human narrative instincts.
