The intention of this study is to determine the communicative success of a literary work insofar as the temporal arrangement of the thematic elements is appropriate to the artistic textual realisation and thus finds the ideal channel of expression. By means of an intensional syntactic analysis of Evelyn Waugh's personal novel Brideshead Revisited, in which attention is paid to the relationship between the homodiegetic narrator and the chronological temporal distortion of the fable present in the discourse, it is concluded that such alterations play in favour of a better reception of the work as a fictional memoir, and facilitate, in this case, the adequacy of res to verba, which results in better accessibility for the reader, due to its greater verisimilitude, coherence and significance, thus achieving communicative happiness
