Fiction imagines for us a stopping point from which life can be seen as intelligible," asserts Joan Silber in "The Art of Time in Fiction." The end point of a story determines its meaning, and one of the main tasks a writer faces is to define the duration of a plot. Silber uses wide-ranging examples from F.

In clear-eyed prose, Silber elucidates a tricky but vital aspect of the art of fiction. Joan Silber
