What is the difference between a good and a bad novel? What makes us
lose the "thread" of the story (and interest in the plot and the
character)? What it is that interrupts the necessary processes of
continuously re-creating the text that are so crucial for text
consumption and successful readership? Rooted in the pragmatics of
literature, this study presents an inquiry into the way divergent,
implicit or explicit, points of view of literary characters ("voices")
may clash  with each other, thus potentially derailing the entire
narrative engine. Inquiring into the ways in which such collisions are
caused, observed, and possibly repaired, this book examines the various
linguistic and narrative-technical "tricks" that the reader has at his
or her disposal in order successfully to follow the narrative and keep
the thread of the narrative intact.
