What if we could, instead, come up with an affirmative approach that takes stories seriously in their capacity to bring forth a substance of their own?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIconic texts such as Mary Shelley's \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e and its numerous adaptations stubbornly resist our attempts to classify them as mere representations of reality.

Drawing on this analysis, she develops a theory of narrative fiction as a generative practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461219598572,"sku":"9783837665505","price":104.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783837665505-on-making-fiction.jpg?v=1774962522"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-literary-theory.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
