Rather than simply request that the reader participate in a problem’s solution by questioning what is happening, the novel in turn questions the reader – about what makes it intelligibly a work of detective fiction yet outside the genre’s boundaries, how the law works when boundaries seem so blurred, and what ethical and practical repercussions this has for the supposedly passive role of the reader.

Both these senses are well established, but in my research I propose a new interpretation of… Show more Thesis title: "Convolutions: Writing the Mind and the Neurology of the Literary Brain"A convolution is a loop, or a fold, just as the folds of the brain are sometimes termed the cerebral convolutions. It is a loop in another sense; stories or narratives are often referred to as convolutions (or convoluted) if their plots and themes are complex and resist linear straightforward reading. Both these senses are well established, but in my research I propose a new interpretation of convolution (or convolving), positing it as a metaphor for a type of process embedded in multiple texts, discourses and disciplines, primary amongst which are literature, neuroscience and philosophy of mind.
