y separately published work icon "The Relative Merits of Goodness and Originality" : The Ethics of Storytelling in Peter Carey's Novels Christer Larsson , Uppsala : Department of English, Uppsala University , 2001 Z925643 2001 single work criticism This study aims to "demonstrate that recurrent formal and thematic patterns in Carey's novels suggest an interrelation between the works, and that an analysis of that interrelation can extract an argument concerning the ethics of storytelling from the texts. The issue of the status of fictional discourse receives prominent and complex consideration in Carey's novels and this study argues that Carey presents storytelling as an intentional mode of social interaction, defined and governed by extra-linguistic conventions. For the discourse to be meaningfully described as fictional, storytellers have to observe the rules that appky to their activity. (Author's abstract)
