In this book, Irmtraud Huber considers a wide range of contemporary novels to explore the variety of possibilities and effects of the use of the present tense, as well as investigating the reasons for its popularity. As a tense of narration, the present can serve to tell different stories than the past tense, or can tell them differently.
