A fractal, a term he coined while leafing through one of his sons 'Latin grammars (it comes from the word for "broken"), is a shape or pattern that repeats over and over at different scales in the same object or set of data — the way that broccoli florets are a small-scale image of the whole vegetable, for instance, or the way stars cluster into galaxies that in turn group into in galaxy clusters, or the way the fluctuations of stock prices during an hour can, statistically speaking, look similar to the way they move around in a day or a month.

In essence then, I think Clute's schema of narrative grammars is flawed in where it places its labels and in what it disregards because of that, but I think it opens up two distinct (and distinctly useful) lines of approach to a text, one focused on the conceptual use of the strange in all of three "genres" of fiction, the other focused on a set of narrative grammars crudely understandable as a sort of spectrum running from Horror through Noir/Thriller and Mystery/Adventure to Heroic Fantasy but open to a more sophisticated view in so far as those genres are viewed as superficial interpretations of an underlying dynamics of subjunctivities, boulomaic modalities and epistemic necessities. posted by Hal Duncan | 7: 41 PM

I’ve spent maybe two years already reading various Latin grammars (especially M&F and Wheelock’s), and fumbling around the Latin forums and materials at Textkit, and found myself none the wiser.

Or maybe dismissing it all as an apologia for the grammars is a cunning way of closing down any kind of debate about any kind of selection.
