Our Very Own Adventure
Towards a Poetics of the Short Story
Carolyne Lee
Our Very Own Adventure demonstrates the main convention of the short story; specifically the heightened reader response that Carolyne Lee terms 'narratorial presence'. The intensity of the short story encourages readers to appropriate the fictive world, as rendered through one or more represented subjectivities in the narrative.

Our Very Own Adventure reveals just how a story yields its meanings to a reader.
