    Communities in Fiction reads six novels or stories (one each by Trollope, Hardy, Conrad, Woolf, Pynchon, and Cervantes) in the light of theories of community worked out (contradictorily) by Raymond Williams, Martin Heidegger, and Jean- Luc Nancy.The book’s topic is the question of how communities or noncommunities are represented in fictional works. Such fictional communities help the reader understand real communities, including those in which the reader lives. As against the presumption that the trajectory in literature from Victorian to modern to postmodern is the story of a gradual loss of belief in the possibility of community, this book demonstrates that communities have always been presented in fiction as precarious and fractured. Moreover, the juxtaposition of Pynchon and Cervantes in the last chapter demonstrates that period characterizations are never to be trusted. All the features both thematic and formal that recent critics and theorists such as Fredric Jameson and many others have found to characterize postmodern fiction are already present in Cervantes’s wonderful early-seventeenth-century "Exemplary Story," "The Dogs’ Colloquy." All the themes and narrative devices of Western fiction from the beginning of the print era to the present were there at the beginning, in CervantesMost of all, however, Communities in Fiction looks in detail at its six fictions, striving to see just what they say, what stories they tell, and what narratological and rhetorical devices they use to say what they do say and to tell the stories they do tell. The book attempts to communicate to its readers the joy of reading these works and to argue for the exemplary insight they provide into what Heidegger called Mitsein— being together in communities that are always problematic and unstable

    The question about what is meant by heterodiesgesis comes with the question, whether heterodiegetic unreliability is possible. As a consequence of the assumption that heterodiegetic narrators first stipulate the fictive world through their speech and hence are omniscient, it has been deduced that these narrators cannot make false statements about the composition of the fictive world a they cannot be unreliabe about what is the fact in the fictive world. In my dissertation I discuss what is meant under the heading heterodiegetic and I discuss the conditions that make heterodiegetic unreliability possible. The second part of the work consists of analyses of different german-speaking works (from Kleist to Polmans) and shows that heterodiegetic unreliability is possible a in an axiological and a mimetic way.
