In the last few years, bold, innovative, and richly compelling novels have been written by a variety of young writers. These texts question traditional strategies of character, plot, theme, and message; and they demand new strategies of reading, too. Choosing ten novels published during the 1990s as examples of that trend, Warren Motte traces the resurgence of the novel in France. He argues that each of the novels under consideration here, quite apart from what other stories it tells, presents a?fable?of the novel that deals with the genre's possibilities, limitations, and future as a cultural form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Warren Motte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564782840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564782847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 5.77w x 1.01d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warren Motte","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540591571199,"sku":"9781564782847","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9dddb49f-0851-4851-a19a-17f168b7b40f.jpg?v=1700588764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fables-of-the-novel-warren-motte-9781564782847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
