Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative
The book is comprehensive, covering all the bases vis-a-vis semiotics, narratology and storytelling. Moreover, includes several helpful bibliographies and a glossary of narrative terms.
Content is accurate, error-free and unbiased.
Content is up-to-date, but not in a way that will quickly make the text obsolete within a short period of time. The text is written and/or arranged in such a way that necessary updates will be relatively easy and straightforward to implement.
The text is written in lucid, accessible prose, and provides adequate context for any jargon/technical terminology used.
The text is internally consistent in terms of terminology and framework.
The text is easily and readily divisible into smaller reading sections that can be assigned at different points within the course.
The topics in the text are presented in a logical, clear fashion, easily accessible for students.
The text is free of significant interface issues, including navigation problems, distortion of images/charts, and any other display features that may distract or confuse the reader.
As far as I can tell, the text contains no grammatical errors.
The text is not culturally insensitive or offensive in any way.
Erudite--but even more importantly--easily accessible text that covers the basics of semiotics, narratology and storytelling.
