Novel


A novel, like a bundle of wood, the more fagots it contains the greater its value. —Edward Bulwer-Lytton	1
A novel is typically as far removed from a play as a bird is from a fish … any attempt to transform one into the other is apt to result in a sort of flying-fish, a betwixt-and-between-thing. —Bliss Perry	2
A novel is the world’s truth with a beautiful woman walking through it. —David Swing	3
