520 $a Chapter three examines Barth's later novels, all of which refer either directly or indirectly to the Nights, to show how his narrators defy both the death of the story and the death of the teller.
520 $a In conclusion, I argue that these authors refute Frank Kermode's "sense of an ending" in favor of stories that point to the "plus one" of narrative demonstrated by Shahrazad's regenerative narrative arabesque.
520 $a This study is a comparative analysis of four contemporary authors who have claimed The Thousand and One Nights as their favorite text: Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, John Barth, and Salman Rushdie. These authors also share an interest in the process of narrativity and concern for the future of the novel that have led them to adopt the narrative model of the Nights in their own fiction in order to suggest the possibility of infinite storytelling.
520 $a The introduction to this study provides an overview of the potentially infinite narrative model presented in The Thousand and One Nights. I argue that Shahrazad's basic techniques for her never-ending storytelling, rather than following the design of the "frame tale," more closely resemble the structure of the arabesque. The notion of an arabesque narrative that continually generates stories is also central to my analyses of Borges, Calvino, Barth and Rushdie.
520 $a Chapter one discusses Jorge Luis Borges' engagement with the Nights and the concept of infinity in relation to his interests in philosophy and science. His short story collections El jardin de senderos que se bifurcan and El Aleph demonstrate his definition of the infinite in narrative as that which surpasses textual boundaries.
520 $a Chapter two looks at the structural aspects of Italo Calvino's Le citta invisibili and Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore, which point towards an infinite space for story creation while reclaiming the crucial role of the storyteller in seducing the reader and perpetuating the narrative.
520 $a The fourth chapter discusses Salman Rushdie's exploitation of the Nights as a metaphor for infinity in his novels and analyzes Midnight's Children, The Satanic Verses and Haroun and the Sea of Stories as proponents of narrative multiplicity and regeneration.
