writerly

Adjective

comp: more writerlysup: most writerly

This term shifts the focus from the story being told to the act of telling it. It describes a style where the technical skill, linguistic experimentation, and structural choices of the author are intentionally visible, drawing attention to the text as a constructed object rather than a transparent window into a fictional world.

In the context of literary theory, specifically Roland Barthes' concept of the writerly text, it denotes a work that is open-ended and demanding. Such texts resist a single, authoritative interpretation, forcing the reader to actively produce meaning through a process of discovery and synthesis rather than simply absorbing a predetermined plot.
