Detailed explanation-1: -Fictionalizing begins where knowledge leaves off, and this dividing line turns out to be the fountainhead of fiction by means of which we extend ourselves beyond ourselves. The anthropological significance of fictionalizing becomes unmistakable in relation to the many unknowable realities permeating human life.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, in a novel, there are four main perspectives: those of the narrator, characters, plot, and the fictitious reader. The meaning of the text is generated by the convergence of these perspectives, a convergence that is not itself set out in words but occurs during the reading process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Iser’s theory suggests that the space left for the reader is unintentional, but in fact many writers have deliberately pushed the gap, forcing readers to consciously interact with the text, becoming more aware of themselves, and that they are creating something beyond what is on the page.
Detailed explanation-4: -In his approach to reader-response theory, Iser describes the process of first reading, the subsequent development of the text into a ‘whole’, and how the dialogue between the reader and text takes place.
