narrative hook is what in literature
A narrative hook happens in the first few pages for novels and in the first few sentences for short stories. The best narrative hooks are often revealed in the first sentence and compel the reader to keep reading the entire book. In his novel âNineteen Eighty-Four,â George Orwell employs a narrative hook to spark the readerâs curiosity: âIt was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.â
