Inspired by Raymond Queneau’s 1947 \u003cb\u003eExercises in Style\u003c\/b\u003e, a mainstay of creative writing courses, Madden’s project demonstrates the expansive range of possibilities available to all storytellers. Readers are taken on an enlightening tour—sometimes amusing, always surprising—through the world of the story.\u003cp\u003eWriters and artists in every media will find Madden’s collection especially useful, even revelatory. Here is a chance to see the full scope of opportunities available to the storyteller, each applied to a single scenario: varying points of view, visual and verbal parodies, formal reimaginings, and radical shuffling of the basic components of the story. Madden’s amazing series of approaches will inspire storytellers to think through and around obstacles that might otherwise prevent them from getting good ideas onto the page. 99 Ways to Tell a Story provides a model that will spark productive conversations among all types of creative people: novelists, screenwriters, graphic designers, and cartoonists.\u003c\/p\u003e99 Ways to Tell a StoryIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemplate\u003cbr\u003eMonologue\u003cbr\u003eSubjective\u003cbr\u003eUpstairs\u003cbr\u003eA Refrigerator with a View\u003cbr\u003eVoyeur\u003cbr\u003eSound Effects\u003cbr\u003eEmanata\u003cbr\u003eInventory\u003cbr\u003eHow-To\u003cbr\u003eWelcome to \"Exercises in Style\"\u003cbr\u003eRetrograde\u003cbr\u003eTense\u003cbr\u003eFlashback\u003cbr\u003eDéjà Vu\u003cbr\u003eUnreliable Narrator\u003cbr\u003eDailies\u003cbr\u003ePolitical Cartoon\u003cbr\u003ePhotocomic\u003cbr\u003eUnderground Comix\u003cbr\u003eManga\u003cbr\u003eWar Exercise\u003cbr\u003eExercises in Love\u003cbr\u003eFantasy\u003cbr\u003ePlan 99 from Outer Space\u003cbr\u003eHigh Noon\u003cbr\u003ePolice Procedural\u003cbr\u003eHumor Comic\u003cbr\u003eFurry\u003cbr\u003eOne Panel\u003cbr\u003eThirty  Panels\u003cbr\u003ePlus One\u003cbr\u003eEtcetera\u003cbr\u003eOpposites\u003cbr\u003eReframing\u003cbr\u003eInking Outside the Box\u003cbr\u003ePalindrome\u003cbr\u003eAnagram I\u003cbr\u003eAnagran II\u003cbr\u003eAfter Rodolphe Töppfer\u003cbr\u003eA Newly Discovered Fragment of the Bayeux Tapestry\u003cbr\u003eWhat Happens When the Ice Truck Comes to Hogan's Alley\u003cbr\u003eExorcise in Style\u003cbr\u003eDynamic Constraint\u003cbr\u003eLigne Claire\u003cbr\u003eSuperhero\u003cbr\u003eMap\u003cbr\u003eROYGBIV\u003cbr\u003eExercises of a Rarebit Fiend\u003cbr\u003eEsk Her Size and Style\u003cbr\u003eHomage to Jack Kirby\u003cbr\u003eExercises in Closure\u003cbr\u003ePublic Service Announcement\u003cbr\u003eParanoid Religious Tract\u003cbr\u003eCento\u003cbr\u003eTwo-in-One\u003cbr\u003eDigital\u003cbr\u003eGraph\u003cbr\u003eIn Case of Exercises in Style\u003cbr\u003eStoryboard\u003cbr\u003eBrought to You by . . .Calligram\u003cbr\u003eNo Pictures\u003cbr\u003ePersonification\u003cbr\u003eThe Next Day\u003cbr\u003eNested Stories\u003cbr\u003eOverheard in a Bar\u003cbr\u003eHappy Couple\u003cbr\u003eUnhappy Couple\u003cbr\u003eA Life\u003cbr\u003eAround the World\u003cbr\u003eThe Critic\u003cbr\u003eEvolution\u003cbr\u003eCreationism\u003cbr\u003eA Lifetime to Get to the Refrigerator\u003cbr\u003eActor's Studio I\u003cbr\u003eActor's Studio II\u003cbr\u003eHorizontal\u003cbr\u003eVertical\u003cbr\u003eExtreme Close-Ups\u003cbr\u003eLong Shots\u003cbr\u003eExtreme Zoom\u003cbr\u003eThings Are Queer\u003cbr\u003eIsometric Projection\u003cbr\u003eOur House\u003cbr\u003eOne Horizon\u003cbr\u003eToo Much Text\u003cbr\u003eNo Line\u003cbr\u003eSilhouette\u003cbr\u003eMinimalist\u003cbr\u003eMaximalist\u003cbr\u003eFixed Point in Space\u003cbr\u003eFixed Point in Time\u003cbr\u003eWhat's Wrong with This Comic?\u003cbr\u003eDifferent Text\u003cbr\u003eDifferent Images\u003cbr\u003eNo Refrigerator\u003cbr\u003eNo Jessica\u003cbr\u003eNo Matt\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003eMatt Madden started self-publishing minicomics in the early 1990s.
