- discusses a range of theoretical perspectives on the use of fiction in research;

Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is a gem of a book! Engagingly written with fascinating examples, it is inspirational in its approach to the exciting interface of fiction and research, yet also practical in its focus on critical thinking, reflective questions and creative exercises. An essential part of any creative researcher's toolkit." Jennifer Mason, University of Manchester "A compelling, detailed and comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the relationship between research and fiction. Entwining literary and academic examples and references, it is accessible, warm and thought-provoking!" Candice Satchwell, University of Central Lancashire "This is a wonderful work that I wish existed long before I embarked on a path combining roles as researcher and fiction-writer. Tipper and Gilman do a marvellous job looking at the generative intersection of fiction and research and discussing the potentials, pitfalls, hopes, and possible failures at each turn. I felt so inspired reading this that I had to put the book down to jot down all the ideas that kept popping into my head." Sherine Hamdy, University of California, IrvineWeitere Details
