About this book

'The Art of Subtext: Beyond Plot' is a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden subtextual layers within fictional works. In this book, Baxter analyzes the unspoken, suppressed, and secreted elements that enrich storytelling. 'The Art of Subtext' is part of a series and this series aims to restore the art of criticism while illuminating the craft of writing.

About the author

Charles Baxter

Baxter has written novels and stories for decades, The Feast of Love among them, but a good many writers know him first for the craft books. Burning Down the House and The Art of Subtext argue for what a story declines to say: the pause, the thing under the dialogue, the scene that means something other than its content.
