Description
John Mullan's exploration of the techniques and effects that make novels work is an entertaining and stimulating read for anyone interested in close analysis of fiction.
By examining a range of contemporary novels, including Brick Lane, Money, The Blind Assassin, Possession, The Rotters' Club, and others, Mullan reveals the rich resources of novelistic technique and shows how the pleasures of novel reading often come from the formal ingenuity of the novelist.
This book makes visible techniques and effects that we are often only half-aware of as we read, and shows that literary criticism is something that all fiction enthusiasts can do. It is an accessible and engaging exploration of the craft of novel writing.
