Lots of valuable information about focalization and external/character-bound narrators in the 'Story' section of the book (pretty much 1 of the 3 sections) that was very helpful and clearly explained. Application to visual art that was very thorough but in a constructive way. Some parts of the 'Fabula' section seemed either rushed through or redundant from the 'Story' section. Too many disclaimers about the potential orthodoxy of structuralism throughout the book. Having said that, I've read this twice.

Exactly what I was looking for: a framework to use while reading other texts so that I can pick and choose what tools I want to use for creating my own work. Does not ignore structuralism but FREQUENTLY (obsessively?) cautions strict adherence to it. (I personally believe such cautioning is valid.) Explains the "rules" and how to break them. Thoughtfully introduces other structuralist's work as well, and relates how it contrasts with this one.
