Can you recommend some 'telling a story backwards novel'?

It challenges the traditional narrative structure. Instead of the usual build - up to a climax and then a resolution, it makes readers re - think their understanding of cause and effect. The plot development is reversed, which can be quite disorienting at first but also very engaging.

Sure. One example could be a story where a couple starts with a break - up and then as the story unfolds backwards, we see how they fell in love in the first place. They might start with bitter words and gradually, as the story goes back, they are sharing tender moments and falling for each other all over again.

One well - known hymn is 'Tell Me the Old, Old Story'. It beautifully conveys the essence of sharing important religious stories. The lyrics are simple yet profound, making it easy for congregations to sing and remember the message of the story it tells.

One great book is 'The Wind in the Willows'. In this book, animals like Mole, Rat, Toad, and Badger tell their adventures. It's a classic that shows the friendship and little misadventures among these animals in a beautiful riverside setting.

One great anime about storytelling is 'Spirited Away'. It tells the story of a young girl, Chihiro, who enters a spirit world and has to find a way to save her parents and herself. The film is filled with rich characters and a complex, magical world that unfolds in a very engaging way.

One great book is 'Story Engineering' by Larry Brooks. It breaks down the elements of a good story like structure, character development, and plot. Another is 'The Writer's Journey' by Christopher Vogler which explores the hero's journey pattern in storytelling. Also, 'Bird by Bird' by Anne Lamott offers practical advice on getting the story out, from dealing with writer's block to shaping the narrative.

Sure. 'Limetown' is an excellent one. It tells a fictional story in a very immersive way. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the people in Limetown unfolds gradually, and the voice acting and sound design add to the overall atmosphere, making it seem like you're in the middle of the story.

Sure. 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem is a great example. It tells the story of a young artist trying to make it in the music industry, facing various challenges and insecurities. The lyrics vividly depict his journey, from the nervousness before a performance to the determination to succeed.

One example could be a very short story like 'A man walked. He saw a tree. He sat under it. He left.' Read backwards it would be 'He left. He sat under it. He saw a tree. A man walked.' It's a simple example where the basic actions can be read in either direction.

'Bakemonogatari' can also be considered. The anime has a unique narrative style where there is a significant amount of dialogue that almost feels like a narrator is constantly dissecting and explaining the events and characters. It makes the story - telling very engaging, as if you're being directly told all the secrets and nuances of the complex world and the characters within it.
