- Post-Modern -metafiction, collage, remix, stories within stories
Kishōtenketsu – Japanese story form (from China)
Ki : the introduction: setting, characters, situation, relationships
Shō : further development, following the introduction. no big changes
Ten : a pivot or twist to another, topic, character, situation, setting. this can be jarring, but doesn’t have to be
Ketsu: ending, it wraps up the story by uniting the first two parts with the third, the twist, making the parts a whole.
Experimental narrative: dada, surrealism, improvisational, anti-narrative
