Features: Fiction is a popular genre, signifying relationships and communication. The ultimate purpose of fiction rhetoric lies in persuading readers to accept a work, thereby establishing a positive "I-you" relationship among the author and reader, author and characters, and reader and characters, achieving an ideal spiritual exchange. Based on this rhetorical concept, this book comprehensively defines the term "fiction rhetoric," critically examines the subject relationships and macroscopic rhetorical techniques of fiction rhetoric, as well as its microscopic rhetorical techniques, and regards "rhetorical effect" as an important component of fiction rhetorical activities. The book holds great respect for the profound experience of traditional fiction, viewing it as a crucial support consciousness for modern fiction to overcome rhetorical dilemmas.
