| Summary: | In a novel, interchapters can increase the narrative tension by interrupting the narration of an action before it ends.

This paper aims at understanding what this specifity involves and at compairing on the one hand the effect created by the different forms of narrative and dramatic structuration systems, and, on the other hand, the theoretical debates they raised. |
