Can a novel cause riots, start a war, free serfs or slaves, break
up marriages, drive readers to suicide, close factories, bring
about law change, swing an election, or serve as a weapon in a
national or international struggle? The author explores this
question in the form of a theoretical essay on narrative and power,
followed by five detailed case studies of works by Turgenev,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ignazio Silone, Solzhenitsyn and Salman
Rushdie, each of which had or was said to have had a major impact
on the political events in its time. Forcefully argued and written
with a minimum of jargon, this book no doubt appeals to a wide
readership well beyond that of the specialist in literature.
