A Critical review of Essays on Narrative Theory and Narratology

Essays on Narrative Theory and Narratology (Horry, 2013) contains seven translated and three compiled essays and it is translated and written in order to present the most important aspects of general theory of narrative, in a coherent and purposeful manner, to present appropriate narrative analysis from Persian texts for those Persians who are interested in narratology. In this essay I evaluate various aspects of the book, and relying on sufficient evidences like: quality of equivalents and translations, grammatical matters, formal aspects, citations, and quality of compiled essays, I show that this book has many faults and errors. And if it is revised in terms of form and content, and enriched with extra useful translated and compiled essays, it could meet some needs of general audience of narratology or be introduced as a textbook.
