About
With 'Comeuppance', Flesch delivers the freshest, most generous thinking about the novel since Walter Benjamin wrote on the storyteller and Wayne C. Booth on the rhetoric of fiction. Flesch integrates evolutionary psychology into literary studies, creating a new theory of fiction in which form and content intermesh.
