  <abstract>This book raises some fundamental questions concerning the nature of speech in fiction and its relationship to real-life talk. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Defoe and Fielding to Muriel Spark and Chinua Achebe, it examines the problems facing the writer of dialogue and some of the different ways in which they may be overcome.</abstract>
