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 Moby-Dick,
Ulysses, or To the Lighthouse) are sui generis, 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.
