Book Description
This book investigates the use of number, geometry, and mathematical abstraction in the service of a literary text. Following WittgensteinOs concept of mathematics as a natural, if specialized, part of ordinary language, Fisher shows how these elements may structure a story, heighten drama, contain emotion, or suggest what cannot be talked about.

Noble Numbers, Subtle Words
Author: Barbara Milberg Fisher
Publisher: Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press
ISBN: 9780838637401
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This study approaches the use of mathematics in fiction in an entirely new way, as a potent instrument of language. Following Wittgenstein's description of mathematical constructs as a component of ordinary language, Fisher shows how number, geometric figuration, algebraic coding, and transcendent abstractions have been made to function as practical narrative tools. Far from rehearsing the various paradigms of numerology, whether Pythagorean, Elizabethan, or Cabalistic, this book explores the tactical deployment of mathematical objects as shaping and framing agents. It reveals how mathematical objects may be subordinated to the storyteller's art.

Book Description
"Think of the heart-racing chase of The Hunger Games, but a giant mall is your arena."--Seventeen.com A suspenseful survival story and modern day Lord of the Flies set in a mall that looks just like yours. A biological bomb has just been discovered in the air ducts of a busy suburban mall. At first nobody knows if it's even life threatening, but then the entire complex is quarantined, people start getting sick, supplies start running low, and there's no way out. Among the hundreds of trapped shoppers are four teens. These four different narrators, each with their own stories, must cope in unique, surprising manners, changing in ways they wouldn't have predicted, trying to find solace, safety, and escape at a time when the adults are behaving badly. This is a gripping look at people and how they can—and must—change under the most dire of circumstances. And not always for the better.
