{"product_id":"genre-and-extravagance-in-the-jed-rasula-9780192897763","title":"Genre and Extravagance in the Novel: Lower Frequencies","description":"This book addresses an anomaly in the novel as genre: the generic promise to readers--that \"reading a novel\" is a familiar and repeatable experience--is challenged by the extravagant exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, these exceptions (such as \u003cem\u003eMoby-Dick, Ulysses\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eTo the Lighthouse\u003c\/em\u003e) are \u003cem\u003esui generis, \u003c\/em\u003e hybrid concoctions that cannot be said to be typical novels. The novel, then, as literary form, succeeds by extravagantly disregarding or even disavowing the protocols of its own genre. Examining a number of famous examples from Don Quixote to Nostromo, this book offers an anatomy of exceptions that illustrate the structural role of their exceptionality for the prestige of the novel as literary form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jed Rasula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192897764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192897763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.49w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Jed Rasula","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982047445247,"sku":"9780192897763","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e18f01d7-d1e3-439e-9761-b495fdf6bbe2.jpg?v=1683258968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genre-and-extravagance-in-the-jed-rasula-9780192897763","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
