The Writer as Liar: Narrative Technique in the Decameron

By Guido Almansi

Book Overview

Originally published in 1975, The Writer as Liar examines the Decameron and argues that Boccaccio's story telling depends for its success not on the combinative assemblage of narrative blocks, which are manipulated by a craftsman who lies and cheats with raw material in to produce a living work.
