| Abstract: | An argument is made for using the “story-within-a-story” frame approach to literary narrative construction for writers seeking to write a Global novel. Narrative is defined in terms of a “thematic architecture” that conveys a particular organization of a story. And Jorge Luis Borges’ The Immortal (1947), Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves (2000), and Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron (TD) (mid-14th century) are all analyzed for their usage of the frame, and for how the frame works to conveys each work’s themes. |
