 THE HIGHLY ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY NARRATIVE 


*


HIGH SCHOOL 4


Int. Tom’s home. The home is a row house. Basement. Evening.


His brother and mother upstairs, Tom sits on a tatty styrofoam pillow the colour of yellow yolk that’s been left to age.


SFX: The drone of the TV


A motorcycle cop: Don’t you realize that California law stipulates you should check your muffler every six months?


Tom, his face impassive, gets to his feet and turns the channel dial. It clicks loudly with every new channel.


New voice (on a talk show): Today on Front Page Challenge, we have a guest who was the first Canadian to star in an American western.


SFX: Applause.

   Occasionally I post a link to a historical novel I had published at Eclectica Magazine: https://www.eclectica.org/v23n2/harvor.html It’s entitled The Business Army, and it’s about a historically documented attempt to organize a coup d’état in the United States during the early months of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency. The novel exists in two forms: as a conventional manuscript and as a form of graphic novel I call the Highly Illustrated Screenplay Narrative (a mouthful, I know; I might rework the term). I’ve decided to post a lot of the latter form of the novel. Graphic novels tend to be expanded comic books (I wrote/drew one many years ago, and know the degree of labour involved). Conventional novels, on the other hand, tend to be devoid of art, and also tend to hew to a rather  traditional concept of how narrative should be produced. Yet at the same time, our mass culture has become acutely influenced by the feature film as a vehicle of narrative. We — including lit...
