A writer’s job is to engage readers through words. Vignettes in literature are poetic slices-of-life as literary devices that bring us deeper into a story. Vignettes step away from the action momentarily to zoom in for a closer examination of a particular character, concept, or place. Writers use vignettes to shed light on something that wouldn’t be visible in the story’s main plot.
