The Precariousness Life of the Novel

[ish mailian]

In five elegant chapters, split between art and matter, or form and
content, Boxall explores the way that novelists over the past five
centuries have celebrated the ability of the fictional story to
undermine itself without losing any of its power. He makes a powerful
case for the novel as the genre capable of capturing the least
definable aspects of our experience.
