This book focuses on narration in lots of different types of media and tells the reader at the same time that narration not only takes place in literature and film. It also can be found in the radio, in dreams, in commercials as well as in the everyday life communication. It postualtes narration as a concept of a basal way of communication in the first place. It is as well a book that bring in the theoretical roots and empirical access to narration together.
