This is a distinct realm in modernity thought is separated from feeling, the individual from the social tries to connect these back together. Nothing is important but life for this reason i am a novelist. And being a novelist, i consider myself superior to the saint, the scientist, the philosopher and the poet, who are all great master of different bits of man alive, but never get the whole hog". Fictionality, the form in which its written, and length (over 40,000 words arbitrary) Consider separations of styles from high, real and low. Low style could not represent seriousness or tragic figures, structurally impossible for common people to be treated as serious problematic deep tragic figures. The novel is less a genre than an anti-genre" terry eagleton. The emergence of realism: mimesis erich auerbach.
