Sempre in primo piano. Una tendenza della narrativa italiana più recente

The article deals with a formal trend that has characterized Italian fiction since the early 2000s. This trend revolves around narrative strategies that aim to foreground narrators and authors. After a brief introduction, paragraphs 2 through 5 illustrate, through some examples, the different ways in which this trend has been realized. In the sixth paragraph, an attempt is made to reflect on the reasons behind the current exploit of narrators and authors, also taking into account extra-literary factors. The last paragraph mentions some paths taken in the same period that seem to oppose the trend discussed in this article.
