Genette (Gérard Genette)

Gérard Genette was a literary theorist known for analyzing how stories are told. He introduced concepts like "narrative voice" (who tells the story) and "narrative level" (the difference between the story's events and the way they're presented). His ideas explore techniques such as flashbacks, multiple narrators, and time manipulation in storytelling. By examining these elements, Genette helped us understand how authors craft narratives to shape our perception and engagement with a story. His work provides a systematic approach to studying the structure and style of literature.
