It was a dark and stormy night when the Miller family vanished without a trace. The small town of Ravenswood had never experienced anything like this before, and the entire community was in shock. The Millers were a well-respected family, and it seemed impossible that they could suddenly disappear without a single clue. Detective Davis was assigned to the case, and he was determined to get to the bottom of the mysterious disappearance. He visited the Miller's home and found it completely abandoned as if the family had just vanished into thin air. The only clue he found was a strange symbol carved into the wooden floor of the living room. It was a symbol he had never seen before, and it sent a shiver down his spine. He decided to start by interviewing the neighbors, hoping to gather some information that could lead him to the Miller family. Mrs. Jenkins, the Millers' next-door neighbor, was visibly shaken by the event. "I can't believe they're gone," she said, tears welling up in her eyes. "They were such a lovely family. I never heard or saw anything suspicious. It's like they just disappeared." Detective Davis continued his investigation, but everywhere he turned, he hit a dead end. No one had seen or heard anything out of the ordinary on the night of the disappearance. The more he delved into the mystery, the more it seemed like the Millers had simply vanished into thin air.

"Viktor Shklovsky's 1925 book Theory of Prose might have become the most important work of literary criticism in the twentieth century had not two obstacles barred its way: the crackdown by the Soviet dictatorship on Shklovsky and other Russian Formalists in the 1930s, and the unavailability of an English translation. Now translated in its entirety for the first time, Theory of Prose not only anticipates structuralism and post-structuralism, but poses questions about the nature of fiction that are as provocative today as they were in the 1920s. Arguing that writers structure their material according to artistic principles rather than from attempts to imitate "reality," Shklovsky uses Cervantes, Tolstoi, Sterne, Dickens, Bely, and Rozanov to give us a new way of thinking about fiction and, in his most impassioned moments, about the world. Benjamin Sher's lucid translation will allow Shklovsky's Theory of Prose to fulfill its destiny as a major theoretical work of the twentieth century." from back cover.
