The novel has often been characterized as the art form without a form. Although there may not be any rules for how to write a novel, as Matthew Clark shows, a good novel is as carefully formed as a good poem. This book uncovers compositional features of narrative construction, thereby excavating elements that constitute the novel’s architecture.
