"Storyworlds", mental models of context and environment within which characters function, is a concept used to describe what happens in narrative. Focusing on the work of writers from Trinidad and Nigeria, The Storyworld Accord investigates and compares the storyworlds of nonrealist and postmodern postcolonial texts to show how such narratives grapple with the often-collapsed concerns of subjectivity, representation, and environment.
