Tight and bright. In original dust jacket: spine sunned, edgewear. Sarah Kozloff is Professor of Film on the William R. Kenan, Jr. Chair at Vassar. Invisible Storytellers was her first book, and the first theoretical and historical examination of cinematic voice-over narration. Kozloff's epic fantasy, The Nine Realms is due for release in 2020. The impetus for writing the four novels came during a seminar on American Women Directors when 'she realized that neither the books nor films of Lord of the Rings could pass the Bechdel Test. That summer, she grabbed her laptop and started imagining a world that awaited the return of the queen.'
