Description

This text seeks to offer a new theory of narrative in its uncovering of how conversations and comic interchanges between lovers in stories create an intimacy and happiness of the everyday. Drawing on a diverse body of theory (from sociolinguistics to philosophy to literary criticism) and reading an unexpectedly eclectic group of texts (works by Shakespeare and Tolstoy appear beside "Casablanca" and "I Love Lucy") Kay Young explores how narrative couples play together, struggle together, and return to one another to experience what it means to be in a relationship over time.
