Summary Annotation <p>Ronald Bogue advances a theory of fabulation that helps readers grasp the Deleuzian approach to literary narrative. Fabulation involves legending, becoming-other, experimenting with the real, and inventing a people to come. It relies on an understanding of time informed by Deleuze's Chronos/Aion distinction and his theory of the three passive syntheses of time. Closely reading novels by Zakes Mda, Arundhati Roy, Roberto Bola&ntilde;o, Assia Djebar and Richard Flanagan, Bogue proves the value of fabulation as a critical tool, while, at the same time, confronting the problematic relationship between history and storytelling vividly captured by these five novelists. An original and exciting study by a renowned expert on Deleuze, this volume introduces a brand new concept and then situates it solidly within Deleuze's general philosophy of aesthetics.</p>
