The novel as a literary form developed as a vehicle for realism. The infusion of unreal content created a new kind of space to ponder questions about the supernatural, humanity's place in the world, and the differences between belief and knowledge. This book investigates that space in a new way, and shows how questions of meaning, identity, and faith are in the DNA of speculative genres.
