Essay
Annotation
Drawing on narrative and linguistic theories, Hogan employs “A Very Short Story” as a lens through which to understand his detailed and nuanced discussion of the various levels of narrative discourse. Hogan’s analysis accounts for the ways in which the narrator’s role in the story, along with the emotional and psychological states of the reader and author, shape the meaning of the work.
