the P-word

[Mark Kohut]

Lots could be said....but I will only say she missed Pynchon of course
and Dostoevsky's novels were not published as 'philosophical novels', I daresay,
although many of them are.....

What’s the big idea?

By Jennie Erdal

Today things seem less clear cut. What is the modern equivalent of the
philosophical novel? How, if we happened upon one, might we recognise
it? Assuming it is not enough for there to be a passing reference to
Wittgenstein or Kant, or for pages to be sprinkled with words like
“epistemological” and “ontological”, what does it look like?
