One example could be 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Holden Caulfield often acts on impulse, like suddenly deciding to leave school and wander around New York City.
Another example is 'Fight Club'. The narrator's impulsive decision to start the fight club and engage in violent and subversive activities drives the story forward. His initial impulse to break free from the monotony of his life leads to a complex and extreme situation. Also, 'The Great Gatsby' has elements of impulse. Gatsby's impulsive love for Daisy and his attempts to win her back through grand and often rash gestures are central to the story.
Well, 'On the Road' by Jack Kerouac is also an impulse novel. The characters in the book are constantly on the move, making impulsive decisions to travel across the country. Their impulses are fueled by a sense of adventure, a search for something new and different. These impulsive travels and the encounters along the way form the core of the story. 'Lord of the Flies' can also be considered in a way. The boys' initial impulse to form a society on the island and their subsequent impulsive actions in response to fear and power struggles are key aspects of the novel.
One example could be 'The Hunger Games' as a proxy novel for dystopian youth literature. It has all the elements like a totalitarian government, a fight for survival, and a young protagonist leading the resistance, which are typical in this genre.
Sure. 'Little Women' is a good example of a communion novel. The March sisters have a very strong bond among them. They communicate their joys, sorrows, dreams, and fears with each other. Their communion as sisters is central to the story. Also, 'The Lord of the Rings' can be considered one. The fellowship of the ring is all about different characters from different races coming together, having a shared mission, and their communion and cooperation are crucial for the journey.
Sure. 'The Sound and the Fury' by William Faulkner is a great example. It has a non - linear narrative, with different characters' perspectives being presented in a way that seems like a detour. Also, 'Infinite Jest' by David Foster Wallace. This novel has a complex structure with numerous sub - plots and digressions that lead the reader on a wild detour through the story. It's filled with footnotes and asides that add to the detour - like nature of the reading experience.
I'm not sure of specific novels that are officially named 'burst novels'. However, some novels that were written very quickly and had a big impact could potentially be considered in this category. For example, 'The Catcher in the Rye' was written in a relatively short time and burst onto the literary scene with its unique voice.
Sure. 'Cloud Atlas' by David Mitchell can be considered a recursion novel. It has multiple storylines that are connected in a recursive fashion. The stories are told in different time periods and in different styles, but they mirror and refer back to each other in various ways. Also, 'If on a winter's night a traveler' by Italo Calvino is recursive as it has a structure where the reader is constantly thrown into different beginnings of stories that seem to be related in a self - referential, recursive manner.
Sure. 'Jane Eyre' can be considered a turnabout novel. Jane endures a lot of hardships and then suddenly inherits a fortune. Also, her relationship with Mr. Rochester has many twists and turns. Mr. Rochester, who seemed so self - assured, is later revealed to have his own dark secrets and insecurities. There's also 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. Scrooge is a miser but then has a complete turnabout in his attitude towards Christmas and people in general after the visitations by the spirits.
Yes. 'Finnegans Wake' by James Joyce is an example. It's a complex work full of references to languages, myths, and various cultural elements. 'Gravity's Rainbow' by Thomas Pynchon is also an encyclopedic novel. It includes knowledge about history, science, especially in relation to World War II and the post - war era. Also, 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez has elements of encyclopedic knowledge. It gives insights into the history, family structures, and cultural traditions of the fictional town Macondo.
One example could be 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath. It is semi - autobiographical and delves deep into the author's own mental state and personal experiences, which gives it a sense of privacy.
Some people might consider James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' as having elements of a carousel novel. Its complex language and circular narrative, where the end seems to lead back to the beginning in some way, can be seen as similar to the idea of a carousel. The story seems to flow in a way that defies a straightforward linear progression, much like the circular motion of a carousel.
One example could be 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco. It delves into the history and origin of a medieval monastery, with all its secrets and knowledge. Another is 'The Da Vinci Code' which is centered around the provenance of certain religious artifacts and the mystery surrounding them.
