LONG WAY DOWN BY JASON REYNOLDS: AN INNOVATIVE WAY OF TELLING A STORY?

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse, starting from the level of intertextuality, the innovative ways in which Jason Reynolds tells the story in Long Way Down. Reynolds reminds of the Postmodern games with genres and readers’ expectations. This could be a feature that can apply, while, at the same time, Reynolds appears to remind literary critics, or those readers with a background in literary criticism, of Bakhtin’s idea that a genre is, after all, both old and new, constantly being updated and reinvented.
