I Am A Girl Without Story
by Alice Zeniter
(BCF, 2024)

Alice Zeniter argues that, from founding myths to coffee discussions and political communication, narrative structures human experience. I Am a Girl Without a Story sets out to unravel the threads of narratology and the power of fiction, in a lecture-book full of fertile paths that bring together Les Misérables and Anna Karénina and the theories of Aristotle, Ursula K. Le Guin, Umberto Eco or Frédéric Lordon.
