This book takes a closer look at the diversity of fiction writing
from Diderot to Markson and by so doing call into question the
notion of a singular "theory of fiction," especially in relation to
the novel. Unlike Forster's approach to "Aspects of the Novel,"
which implied there is only one kind of novel to which there may be
an aspect, this book deconstructs how one approach to studying
something as protean as the novel cannot be accomplished. To that
end, the text uses Diderot's This Is Not A Story (1772) and David
Markson's This Is Not A Novel (2016) as a frame and imbedded within
are essays on De Maistre's Voyage Around My Room (1829), Machado de
Assis's Posthumous Memoirs Of Braz Cubas (1881), Andre Breton's
Nadja (1928) and Elizabeth Smart's By Grand Central Station I Sat
Down And Wept (1945).
