With its laser-focus on the verbal and visual infrastructure of narrative, <i>The Metanarrative Hall of Mirrors </i>is the first sustained comparative study of how image patterns are tracked in prose and cinema. In film examples ranging from <i>Citizen Kane</i> through<i> Apocalypse Now</i> to <i>Blade Runner 2049</i>, then on to Christopher Nolan¿s 2020 <i>Tenet</i>, Garrett Stewart follows the shift from celluloid to digital cinema through various narrative manifestations of the image, from freeze-frames to computer-generated special effects. By bringing cinema alongside literature, Stewart discovers a common tendency in contemporary storytelling, in both prose and visual narrative, from the ongoing trend of ¿mind-game¿ films to the often puzzling narrative eccentricities of such different writers as Nicholson Baker and Richard Powers¿including the latter¿s eerie mirroring of reader empathy in his 2021 <i>Bewilderment.</i>
