Unlike Forster’s approach to “Aspects of the Novel,” which implied there is only one kind of novel to which there may be an aspect, this book deconstructs how one approach to studying something as protean as the novel cannot be accomplished. To that end, the text uses Diderot’s \u003ci\u003eThis Is Not A Story\u003c\/i\u003e (1772) and David Markson’s \u003ci\u003eThis Is Not A Novel\u003c\/i\u003e (2016) as a frame and imbedded within are essays on De Maistre’s \u003ci\u003eVoyage Around My Room\u003c\/i\u003e (1829), Machado de Assis’s \u003ci\u003ePosthumous Memoirs Of Braz Cubas\u003c\/i\u003e (1881), André Breton’s \u003ci\u003eNadja\u003c\/i\u003e (1928) and Elizabeth Smart’s \u003ci\u003eBy Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept \u003c\/i\u003e(1945).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-01-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030593452\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-59346-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 155\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589609676940,"sku":"9783030593452","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030593452.jpg?v=1776793504","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030593452","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
