Abstract
Narrating is an old human activity. It involves reflecting on possible happenings in words. A novel is an example of narrative art. It is a “world in words”, as Dresden calls it (Wereld in woorden, 1965). Gerard Genette gives an interesting analysis of the narrative act in his book Discours du recit. With examples from the novels of Sibusiso Nyembez this address tries to illustrate that Genette's book is more than just another theory of fiction.
