A cogent and scholarly analysis, Beyond the Monoplot argues that since the ‘80s and ‘90s the linear, chronological, one-hero Hollywood story model has come to dominate both theory and practice of screenwriting, resulting in a serious drop in quality, originality and experimentation. Provocative and thought-provoking, Chris Neilan vigorously interrogates the received wisdom and sets out a range of structural alternatives to the Hollywood template. A striking new voice in the study of screenwriting. * Linda Aronson, Writer, Author of The 21st Century Screenplay, Australia *
