Colin Wilson The Craft of the Novel: An Examination of Novels & Novelists from the Viewpoint of Teaching "Creative Writing"
London Gollancz Crime 1975 0-575-01997-2 / 9780575019973 First Hard Back Near Fine Near Fine Literary Criticism 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Binding is orange cloth with gilt lettering on the spine; 256 pages including the index. It is often said that the novel is dying. Is this true? Colin Wilson emphatically denies it, in the course of his challenging and controversial survey of the novel's entire history to date. He ascribes the notion of the many wrong turnings that great novelists have taken. But, even so, the novel has, he declares, altered the consciousness of the civilised world. "We say that darwin and Marx and Freud have challenged the face of western culture, but the influence of the novel has been greater than all three." And he believes that this can continue to be so.
