Rubbed edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work of literary criticism, A Novelist On Novels presents a candid and authoritative examination of the craft of fiction from the perspective of a working novelist. W. L. George argues with wit and conviction that the novel as a form is both a living art and a discipline worthy of serious intellectual scrutiny, dissecting the techniques, purposes, and failures of the genre with refreshing directness. The work details the mechanics of character, plot, and style, offering sharp observations on what separates enduring fiction from mere entertainment. Written in a tone that is at once conversational and incisive, it instructs aspiring writers and engaged readers alike on the inner workings of the novelist's mind. A product of the early twentieth-century literary milieu, it remains a thought-provoking and elegantly reasoned contribution to the ongoing conversation about what the novel can and should achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130442391771,"sku":"2026770001567-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/15ede163-03e6-4815-a7be-fa4bb701a521.png?v=1786585274","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001567-secondhand-a-novelist-on-novels","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
