Job for Narrative Theorist
From the Narrative-L:
Dear narrative theory colleagues,
You might be interested to hear about the U of Chicago's job ad for a position that (excitingly and progressively, in my opinion) conceives narrative theory at the intersection of fiction studies, narrative across media, and creative writing:
Here's hoping that it's a Dream-Come-True Job (instead of just a Dream Job) for a talented young member of the community!
Best wishes,
Sarah
