Story in Mind: A Constructivist Narratology. The Psychological and Linguistic Foundations to how Stories Work (First edition)

A story is not just a text that is read; it is a conversation between an author and a receiver.

Baboulene's doctoral research is a revolution in narratology, shifting the discipline from a focus on the structure of a text to a formalisation of the meaning in the conversation.

David Baboulene's flagship work is a clarion call for narrative theory to recognise that storytelling is a knowledge transfer between people.

There is no knowledge in nature, there is only knowledge in mind, and Baboulene's knowledge gap theory provides the tools and methods that compose a new narratology which brings the meaning of the story, the actions of the characters and the phenomenology of the receiver into a single, cohesive formalism.
