Orson Scott Card on The Princess Bride
On Goldman’s use of a story within a story:
“Goldman manipulates the complex structure so flawlessly that I used the book as a basic text in my freshman composition and literature class the year I taught at Notre Dame. After understanding the structure of The Princess Bride, my students were quite ready to deal with something as relatively simple as King Lear.”
