Paperback. [Author], [Publisher]. Author: Liam McIlvanneyFormat: Paperback, 135mm x 216mm, 264g, 240 pagesPublished: Faber & Faber, United Kingdom, 2011The Good of the Novel is a collection of specially commissioned essays - edited by Ray Ryan and Liam McIlvanney - on the contemporary Anglophone novel. Bringing together some… of the most strenuous and perceptive critics of the present moment and putting them in contact with some of the finest novels of the past three decades, it examines what the novel does and what kinds of truth the novel can tell. What is it that the novel knows? What is it about the language used in a novel that creates a world different from that of drama or poetry? And how does a particular novel emplify this?These questions can be answered by the careful examination of particular great works by strong evaluative critics. Robert Macfarlane on Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty; Tessa Hadley examining Coetzee's Disgrace; and Ian Sansom on Roth's American Pastoral - just some of the essays that are to be found in this insightful, intelligent and illuminating book.Ray Ryan is a publisher and critic. He lives in Cambridge. Liam McIlvaney is author of a debut novel, All the Colours of the Town. He lives in New Zealand where he teaches at the University of Dunedin. Paperback.
