HOROWITZ, Evan, « Narrative Accidents and Literary Miracles », dans Philosophy and Litterature, vol. 35, no 1 (avril 2011), p. 65-78.
L'auteur s'intéresse aux procédés narratifs qui permettent de distinguer un événement réel de son équivalent mis en récit.
Résumé de l'auteur:
When I crash my car, it may be an accident, but when Daisy Buchanan crashes hers, it is something else. The distinction has nothing to do with our varying intentions; it is simply that her accident occurs within the carefully-designed world of narrative. Working with car crashes, stray shootings, and train wrecks, I show how difficult it is to find genuine accidents in literature and how that bare fact limits the insight of historical criticism.
