About the Book

There are few things harder than writi ng a novel. The Architecture of Narrati ve is an inspirati on and revelation for every writer who has struggled with the development of their novel. It links character to plot and plot to structure in a unique way. Sydney Smith asks: What is the relati onship between character and plot? And she explores how a writer can structure this relati onship to build a compelling story. Using two very different sources, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and the movie, The Bourne Identity, Smith demonstrates how the principles of structure in successful pieces of fi cti on transcend genre and medium. This book explains how character development is integral to plot development through aspects of fiction such as conflict, clashing goals, internal antagonists, motives and plot triggers. Throughout the book are questions for the writer, questions to help see how a manuscript is working. While the analysis is thorough, this is not a prescriptive `how to’ book. There are no magic formulas passed on. Rather, the reader gains through the analysis of the two sources a new understanding of how novels work, and the key mechanisms in every successful piece of fi cti on, whether novel or fi lm or television drama.
