Neatly dividing his book into two parts of five chapters each, Clark breaks subjectivity in narrative down by the numbers (reflective singles, doubles, and thirds) in Part One, and then provides a more complex analysis with reference to case grammar in Part Two. To judge his work properly, we should consider the interrelationship, not just appreciate the balance, of the two parts before finding a place for his work within the ongoing study of narrative.
