Benjamin Britworth's Narrative Mind

06/21/20 • 2 min

S1 E5 - Simple Story Techniques - For the Love of an Antihero - Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange

Benjamin Britworth's Narrative Mind

05/31/20 • 3 min

In this episode I look at the elusive archetype of the antihero. I specifically look at Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange; a story where the antihero is king. Burgess deliberately plays around with the character type, showing just how morally ambiguous antiheroes can be. CITED: Burgess, Anthony. A Clockwork Orange. London: William Heinemann, 2012. Brombert, Victor. In Praise of Antiheroes. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1999.

Benjamin Britworth's Narrative Mind

04/19/20 • 4 min

How does Stephen King use description in his book, The Shining, to bring objects to life and turn them into monsters? In this week's episode, I take a closer look at why I think the book works so well as a piece of horror literature. CITED: Bishop, Wendy. Starkey, David. "Image and Metaphor." Keywords in Creative Writing. Colorado: University Press of Colorado, 2006. pp. 112-115 King, Stephen. The Shining. London: Hodder, 2011.

S1 E11 - Simple Story Techniques - How to Hook a Reader - The Secret History by Donna Tartt

Benjamin Britworth's Narrative Mind

08/16/20 • 3 min

In this episode I look at how Donna Tartt hooks a reader through the prologue of her book 'The Secret History'. The prologue (or opening) is arguably the most important part of a book, as a strong opening will entice a reader and get them to read on, while a bad opening will end with them putting the book down instead. CITED: Lodge, David. The Art of Fiction. London: Viking Penguin, 1993. p5 Tartt, Donna. The Secret History. London: Viking Penguin, 1993.
