Críticas
The Good of the Novel is an instructive, entertaining and reassuring book: reassuring because it reminds us that real criticism was not dead, only sleeping, and that it is once again beginning to wake up. - The Irish Times
In an age of drive-by reviewing, when every reader can tell the (electronic) world whether or not they like a particular book, these 13 essays together constitute something of a manifesto, speaking up for the continuing vitality of that traditional form, the critical essay, a discursive piece of writing which is longer than a journalistic review but more accessible than an academic article. Almost all of them strike those sparks of understanding whereby we recognise that we half knew what they tell us yet didn't, in any articulated way, know at all. [ ] What is going on, I'm tempted to say, is literary criticism, something more ambitious than much everyday reviewing. Such criticism, at its best, involves a sustained attentiveness to how a work of literature achieves its effects plus a focused analysis of what kind of achievement it represents and where that comes in the scale of things. - The Guardian

Reseña del editor
What makes a novel a novel? How does a novel create a world different from that of drama or poetry? What kinds of truth can be told uniquely by the novel? And what role can the literary critic play in the egalitarian age of the Internet? The attempt to capture the multifariousness of experience through character, narrative and style is at the heart of the novelist's art, and it is evaluated and celebrated in the thirteen specially commissioned essays collected here. The Good of the Novel brings together some of today's most perceptive critics, several of them novelists themselves, and puts them in contact with some of the finest novels of the past three decades. Insightful, intelligent and illuminating, The Good of the Novel seeks to answer probing questions about the role of the modern novel, and, by implication, the role of the modern critic, bringing rewarding new perspectives to some of the most fundamental questions in contemporary fiction.
